    Bullet Choice for .58

    I know many of you use LEE bullet molds. My grandson wants to cast for a .58 Enfield (repo) and we're wondering which of these two would make the best all round bullet, including a little hunting, the "Modern Minie,Target", or the "R-E-A-L" bullet. Both LEE of course. Thanks in advance, Skip
