While there can be exceptions, patched round balls usually require much lower powder charges to shoot accurately from a fast twist barrel.
Although a bare round ball can also be fitted within the proper size sabot and fired that way which may help accuracy too.

Some guns will shoot concial bullets better than others, and there are so many to try including custom made.
There's so many different styles and other variables, sometimes sizing them helps to get them to shoot better.
