No, pellets are not usually used in sidelocks.
It's possible that they might work with the musket cap, but pellets would probably ignite much more reliably if 5-10 grains of loose powder were loaded under the pellets. |

arcticap + 1
Good call and you won't have to worry about ignition. My optimun target is 70gr. loose and 90 - 95 loose for hunting. Anything more than that and I'm sprinkling the grass. I also use a musket cap in one of my Hunters. ....

Good Pic. and good luck !!
Looks like you have a Lyman Dear Stalker made by Investment Arms, [I]. I hunted with one of these for a couple of years and they are built to last and very accurate for the range. I too used 777 in this one and when you have you get a shot-string you like, share it with us. As far as the Conical, I don't see one. ...

I got it and thanks !!
Looks like the Lee R.E.A.L. conical and I have always had a hard time loading these. Sounds like they work for you. ...

If it came from Cabela's it's an Investarms. It will have a capital I in a box on the barrel. That's their trademark.
