Got my 1st BP pistol over the weekend. It's a Pietta 1858 New Model Sherrif. I also got my .45 mold for my rifle. The mold casts the 440 RB and a .452 Lee REAL at 200 grains.
I am interested in having a heavier conical in the revolver on occasion. Some research makes me think conicals can shoot from it. The back bands ride perfect in the cylinder with a couple thousandths extra for the driving band. And the nose of the bullet almost fits in the breech of the barrel.
Have any of you tried these? What are things I should watch out for?
