58-caliber Minié/Maxi/R.E.A.L.?

I have a .58-caliber muzzleloading rifle with barrel that has: 1:48 twist; .580-inch lands; and .592-inch grooves. What production molds drop .58-caliber Minié/Maxi/R.E.A.L. bullets that stabilize in it?

It's so simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say and then don't say it. Sam Levinson

Hi,
460 grains REALs work perfect in my .58 Kodiak (1-48").
Less than 2" at 50 meters for each barrel.

Faster rates of twist like your 1-48 shoot bullets better. Slower rates like 1-60 and up shoot round balls better. A Minie, Maxi or REAL should do fine in your rifle.

Keep in mind the log of my being wrong is 2" thick and I am on Vol #4!
