I used to shoot my Parker Hale 1853 Enfield a lot, and after experimenting w/ 4-5 moulds figured out that the Lyman 575213 (old Style) worked the best for the rifle. Minies are a bit more difficult to cast with the thin skirt. I learned to run my lead a little hotter than I usually did and keep the mould hot.

FWIW, 60-65 gr. of FFG (equivalent to the service load in the 1860s)and the above Minie shoots about 6" above point of aim in my rifled musket @ 100yds. but it groups well.

BTW, lube of 2/3 neatsfoot oil and 1/3 beeswax works good with Minies in my musket and a friend '61 Springfield as well.
