Agree.... my habit also. First bullet I bought for my Knight Vision was Hornady PA Conicals. You get a-lot in the box - they are cheap and a full-bore conical. Works to smooth things out better than a .490 roundball & patch.
It's fun to shoot conicals anyways. They make nice big holes and depending on the tree-type trunk, those PA Conicals in lead displayed some awesome mushrooms. They just aren't long enough to use for 100 yards and beyond accurately, inside a 1-28 twist barrel.
I couldn't find them locally. Got them at the Hornady website a few years back. Dixie Gun Works sometimes sells them or similar.
