I am new to this forum but have been shooting cap & ball for quite some time. My question is about the projectile. I have only shot .451 lead ball in my Colt and remington 44's.
1. Has anyone shot a .451 conical in them?
2. Can you shoot a conical bullet in a cap & ball pistol?
3. If so, does shooting a conical change the load at all?
4. Is a .451 conical available?

Your feedback is much appreciated.
