Lyman GPR and Lee REALS, any experience? - 11/28/16
Have a Lyman Great Plains Rifle with a 32" 1 in 60 twist, sidelock percussion. I just bought a Mag-Spark 209 conversion nipple for it and will be trying FF Pyro RS and FF T7 (what I have on hand). Will be getting some Blackhorn 209 later also... I know it'll shoot round balls just fine but I'd also like to shoot Lee REALS and wanted to get anyones experience with those in this rifles twist. They offer them in 300 and 380 grain molds. I figure the 300s would behave better in 1-60 than the 380s since "the heavier the bullet, the faster twist rate needed". Am I correct in that thinking? Any and all input appreciated.
