I cast a batch of RB and real 320gr.. They came out great.. (First for ML)

I shot both today @ 50 yards,, The RB out shoots the Real,, RBs 1&1/2", The Reals @3". I recoverd a few of each out of bearm,, The RBs were .756.. Reals were .985 almost a inch ; ) PS Plenty soft enough

I'd certainly go with the accurate prb over the Real; but then I'm strictly a prb shooter.

Is that 50 caliber or what? Did you play around with charge weights? I've noticed I have to reduce the charge when using REALs in my 50 (also a 48" twist). I can use up to about 110 grains Goex 2F with PRB, but any more than 90 grains with the REAL and the groups start opening up. Also a lubed felt wad improves the REAL's groups. That's with the 250 gr REAL. I haven't done much with the 320s.

Sure did,, I used 80gr Pyrodex behind the PRBs & 70gr bihinde the Reals.. My 50 cal always shot prb great with that powder,, I'd try em at 100yrds but my eyes aint that great ; ) PS Use to clover leaf @ 100yrds years ago
