I have used Lee molds for many years, since the early 70's I have used a number of other brands as well. Lee make very good molds which work very well and will last a very long time if properly maintained and not abused. This particular pattern has been a favorite of mine for many years as well. It performs better than a minie ball and better than a round ball.

My Traditions Kentucky flintlock rifle with a 1:66 twist preferred these bullets over the longer REAL bullet that is 320 grains. I was hitting a paper plate at 50 yards offhand with these over 60 grains FFFg. I read on a forum that they are even more accurate if you put a wonder wad between the powder and bullet, so I am going to try that. Also I am going to try different powder charges. One thing I noticed is that these were not seating as easily as the longer ones in the tip of the barrel. The longer ones are narrow at the base allowing for easy loading alignment. I coned my barrel a small amount so that these 250 grain ones will easily set in the barrel. I have not shot them yet with the coned barrel. Another thing is that is took considerable effort to load these in the first few inches of the rifle, but once started, they went down easily. If your rifle is a faster twist it might like the longer REAL bullets. I suggest getting both molds to see which one your rifle prefers. Read full review

I have had very good luck and results with the Lee brand loading blocks. These were also great working molds. They warm fast, and provide excellent forming once the proper temp of the lead is achieved.

Prior to use, I cleaned it thoroughly with denatured alcohol. I’ve been smoked the bullet cavities with soot from a wooden match. From the start, bullets dropped out flawlessly. The box states that it drops a 250 grain bullet. That it does. However, the picture on the end of the box shows a bullet heavier than the 250 grain bullet. I am very happy with the product and the bullets shoot very well in my Traditions Deer Hunter.
