RE: shot the white mtn. finally
Depending on the twist and the way the barrel is made, your best bet might be (as you discovered) conicals. Some cheaper conicals to try are REAL conicals, and Bull Shop conicals. They are more cost effective for the most part. With a group like you shot at 50 yards with those conicals, very little would get by that rifle. Nice shooting.
Cotton pillow tick blue stripe at Wal Mart or other fabric stores is .018 if you want cheap patches..
