I have a 1:20 twist .50 traditions buckskinner rifle, 21 inch barrel, and it has an extremely fast twist rate compared to a lot of muzzleloaders, so its not very good for roundballs, even with light loads. I am trying to find a mold that will work well in it that is conical, but none of the lee molds are maxiballs, they are either minie balls or REAL bullets.
My first question is, what is the difference between minie balls and maxi balls, and what is the difference between a maxi ball and a REAL bullet other than it has rifling engraved at loading. I do not know what mold to buy for a fast twist rifle, any help would be appreciated, also, for roundballs, if I wanted to try, what would be a good FFG powder load?
