I use to shoot them for the same reason better BC, but I could never get them to be consistent -seems like I would get one or two flyers every once in awhile - never knew when it was going to happen.
That is also one of the reasons that I went to the Speer .452/300 grain Gold Dot - BC .232
I ordered some 390 HB-HP conicals to de-virginize the 54 cal barrel which came on my old Cabela Hawken
Better have a short starter the top ring is .548 and tuff to get into the barrel...
I just called Dan @ Bull Shop and ordered some of his 54 cal slip fitconicals in various sizes from .540 to .546 to see what fits the best. I did get some .540 No-Excuse conicals from Dave but they slid right down the barrel of my Renegades and the Lyman Trade Rifle... turn them upside down and they would slide right back out....
