    I have been toying with the idea of casting my own .50 cal muzzleloader bullets for some time now. I have been casting my own 454 casull and 45LC (SWC) with very good success for a while and was actually thinking of buying some sabots and using those bullets and probably still will at least try it. The thing I am trying to do though is get more self reliant. I dont want to run to the store if I run out of sabots. I have been eyeing the Lee R.E.A.L molds and think I may just jump in to one of those instead. Does anyone have helpful information or experience with casting their own? I would like to avoid gas checks and sabots altogether. I get an average of 1" groups at 100 with my tc encore, 90 grains 777, 777 primers and TC Shockwaves. I would like to come close to that with my own cast bullets. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
