Load for 54 cal Lee REAL

[wyofool]

Where can I find the load data for the Lee REAL. It has been a long time and I don't remember how much powder to use with this projectile.

I have a Lyman Great Plains 54 cal, 1/60 twist. . I shoot the Lee 300gr REAL bullet. Works great with the slow twist. The Lee 54 REAL mold is available in two weights. 300 & 380gr. Which is yours? I use a load of 90gr of Hodgon Tripple 7 FF. On the front of the bottle it shows a max load of 120grs with a 325gr projectile for 54 cal. I like the 90gr load . Works great & is very accurate, & powerful.

I'm sorry I didn't mention the weight of the bullet, it is a 380 gr. All I have is black powder in 3f. I have shot these before but many years ago and don't remember the load.

The Tripple 7 FF powder I shoot is supposed to be loaded the same as real black powder. So loads should be the same. As to the REAL 380gr I would research Lee loading info .
Maybe this will help/ Looks like 70gr for the 380 REAL. https://castboolits.gunloads.com/sho...iber-380-grain

I use to shoot the 300 gr REAL in a .54 Renegade with 1:48 twist.
It was very accurate with a 90 gr load of 3f

There's no singular perfect load. Anywhere from 40 to 100 grains ought to work.
