There are a lot of us that have an open choice, there are many things that enter into the choice of projectile. around here you can shoot any thing at wild hogs and the deer and bear regulations are also reasonable they restrict us to a 40 caliber projectile or larger which I think is quite reasonable compared to other states.
I personally like PRB and sabot+ bullet projectiles. I do shoot some conicals because I occasionally go out west where they seem to be out of tune with the rest of us and out there I used to shoot the 460 gr conical now I have switched to the 350 grain FPB which does an excellent job out of my TC guns.
I know that a lot of people shoot conicals but have never known if it because they like them or the state laws force them to. I do know that the trajectory of them is difficult to master.
