The CCI caps they are making now are weak. I had to get another nipple to use #11 caps. The improved Minie makes a .578 the bore should be .577 I used a .575 mold with very good results. The Lee REAL is flat based isn't it?

The Lee REAL bullet is flat based. But don't forget, the Lee Rifling Engraved At Loading bullet relies on the largest of the bands being the diameter of the groove to seal the bore. Here too measurement matters. If the diameter of the REAL bullet is less than the groove diameter, you are likely to get gas cutting and blowby that will adversely effect performance.
