Thanks for the replies. I've been interested in conicals. I just know nothing about them. I have a few more questions. How difficult are they to load, especially after a few shots? I guess that's gonna depend on the bullet. It would drive me nuts to have to completely clean my barrel after every couple of shots. I noticed that Midsouth has the Hornady HB HP pre-lubed conical. The .45 is 285gr. Would that be a good choice?TC Maxi-balls are only 240gr. How does the accuracy of conicals compare to Sabots/PBs, under 100yds? If I try a pre-lubed conical, do I need a wad or patch? Does the lead expand to form a gas seal? Is leading, in the barrel, a problem with pre-lubed conicals. What range do I need to be in with my powder (777 fffg)...80-100gr?

Sorry for all the questions. This is all really new to me. Thanks for your help.
