I'm low on my .454 round balls and am thinking of trying some conicals for fun.
I use a brass framed revolver and understand that the higher weight of a conical would mean lowering my usual powder charge (20 grains+filler) to something around 15+filler.
Are there any advantages to a conical? Talking to a range officer he suggested I generally stick with round balls and don't even mess with conicals.
Is there any significant loading difference when it comes to the two?
