I don't use them much, except for target shooting. I get great accuracy out to 50yds. After that, I can't hit paper for some reason. I use cast conicals as I can cast them for the same price as round ball (next to nothing). If I shoot patched roundball, I have to buy pillow ticking and cut and grease patches-that takes time and money

Also, a tight fitting roundball is just too slow to load. I can start and seat a conical much faster,do it for many more consecutive shots, and I get accuracy that is equal or better at greater ranges.
