Ontario, I've used the R E A L bullet. In my .50 , it wasn't real easy to load, but you could load it, and it worked OK.
However, I also got a Lee .50 Minie ball mould. The Minie is slow to cast, as it's a single cavity, and sometimes the skirt doesn't fill out perfectly, so the reject rate is higher than with the R E A L. On the other hand, the Minie loads very easily, and shoots very, very well, even at maximum speeds.
Consequently, I quit shooting the R E A L- I shoot the Minie. The Minie is a deadly game bullet, too, IME.
