What about sabots? any idea how well these would shoot?
I've no idea if they would shoot sabots but I see no reason why not. Many people are able to find sabots that a 1-48 twist will shoot, so a 1-32 should do a better job then those 1-48 twist rifles. Iwould suggest something like a T/C Cheap shot would be a good place to start with about 80 grains of powder. You might have to do some searching to find the best combination.
Also, with the conicals, is it necessary to apply some lube to the bullets? I've noticed that some come pre-lubed and some don't?
If the conical is not lubed you do need to apply a bore butter type lube to the outside of them. Also a bore button or wonder wad will also help you regulate the barrel pressures in many cases and improve your accuracy with conicals. Some rifles like wonder wads or bore buttons, and some don't. Again, a lot of this will be trial and error to see what your rifle likes.
Also since this is a cap lock, you are not regulated to the use of black powder only. Many cap lock shooter use Triple Se7en, APP, Pinnacle, and Pyrodex. I would suggest getting a hot shot nipple for the rifle to increase the amount of flame into the breech.
