First off, this is my first post (I've owned some form of muzzleloader for 16 years (plus or minus 6 months. My current revolver is a Pietta "1858" Remington New Army .44).
I've seen pictures in posts depicting conical bullets of several varieties (by conical, I am implying non-roundball). The only conical bullet that I know of and that I have easy access to is the Buffalo Ball-et. I've seen some that resemble a semi-wadcutter with a lube groove, and so on.
Just where does a guy get some of these for trying out? Are some of this forums members machinists that have made their own molds, or am I missing something?
