Hi there!

I am new on the forum, seeking some wisdom.
I own Pietta Army 1860 cal 44 cap and ball revolver. So far been using balls .454, but would like to try using conical bullets for target shooting.

This subject has been discussed in length in many threads / posts on this forum but I came nowhere near answer, especially when considering that different makers may have as well different twists in barrels.

So for My Pietta, I am not certain which conical bullet would suit the best.
The question is this:
Which conical bullet mold to order for Pietta Army 1860 cal 44:
Lee 450-200-1R, or Lee 456-220-1R?

Thanks for your advices!
