I havent used anything but round balls for my muzzleloading rifles yet. Now im getting a pedersoli Hawken .50cal with a 1 in 24" twist, thats a conical bullet rifle.
some questions about the use of conical bullets pop up:
Are they very hard to load? Compared to a round ball?
Do i have to use pure lead to cast them?
Leading?
performance?
