It's not very impressive. Velocity is much lower then with balls, and not as accurate. The Lee bullets don't carry enough lube to keep the fouling soft, and if you put a lube wad under the bullet there's not much room for powder. I stick to balls.

your right about the velocity. i used 11 grs. of pyrodex p and averaged 570 fps. 15 grs. of the same under a rb gave me 690 fps with room for 3 or 4 more grs. chamber mouths were sealed with t/c bore butter. thanks for the reply, dinger.
