I even tried them in a 28" twist 50 cal inline I used to own. They were supposed to compete with the original T/C Maxiball conical. They were usually much more difficult to start straight into the muzzle than a comparable Maxiball- even thought their "theory of operation" was supposed to be similar to that of the original T/C Maxiball. They never shot as well as a T/C Maxiball in any of the guns or loads I tried. So my inexpensive (cheap) Lee REAL molds will forever be lonely and unused (by me) just sitting in their boxes awaiting passage to someone else. :)
