When loading does the conical need to be tight to the bore? Meaning should there be a good amount of force to load? I have seen my uncle load a 58 caliber minnie in his civil war gun and it just fell to the bottom to the breach, I understand when fired that bullet expands and catches the rifeling, I assume the conical needs to be loaded well and no air between the barrel and the bullet. Does anyone know where there may be a site to show the proper loading of a conical? Sorry with all the questions but I have never shot conicals.
