Mike (duelist1954) did a great video on the subject, youtube search 44 roundballs vs. Conicals part 1, 2 and 3

Thanks, very interesting videos indeed. The conicals had a great advantage penetration-wise (not sure how much was due to shape, and how much due to weight). - any guesses?
Accuracy-wise, I'm not convinced that the conicals are much if any better than the round balls from the videos. I'd have to do similar testing myself. When I did my first round ball shooting, I did a 4.25" 7-shot group at 15 yards shooting one-handed and not even aiming at a spot, just toward the middle of a 7-inch circle. It would also be interesting to do this at 15, 25 and 50 yards. Hopefully this summer I will have a chance to do just that.
