45 r.e.a.l bullet mold question
Hello, I have a thompson center hawken, and have purchased a 45 cal Green Mountain LRH barrel. I am going to buy a mold for this calibur. what I understand from reading this forum. about the fast twist (1in28) of this barrel, that I need a shorter bullet for fast twist, and a longer bullet for a slower twist barrels. Thats why I am considering the 45 cal R.E.A.L bullet mold 200 grain. I thought about the 45 maxi ball mold. but that seems to be a longer bullet and the price of buying that mold isnt cheap. I have shot saboted bullets for years and now I want to go back to conicals again. any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again, Steve

Remember the idea twist for a round ball is 1/66 - 1/70
