While looking at projectiles, a big debate arose between my guns manual, Sportsmans Warehouse, and Traditions firearms customer service. I’m not sure who to believe, so I figured I’d ask you guys.

My gun manual said to not use conical or ball projectiles. This is a problem, because Idaho regulations requires you use those in muzzleloader only hunts. I contacted traditions firearms, and asked them about this. They said to use ball projectiles. However, Sportsmans warehouse said to not use ball projectiles, and use conical projectiles, because the balls tend the curve when shot.

The regulations for Idaho muzzleloader only hunts say that the projectile needs to be within 0.010 of an inch of the bore diameter, and must be made of lead with no sabots. Conical or ball.

Traditions firearms referred me to a website that sells many sizes of muzzleloader projectiles, all spherical, to meet the size requirement for the projectile. Sportsman‘s warehouse showed me one in the store that was conical. Traditions firearms said the ones in the store were too small to meet my requirement for 0.010 of an inch of the bore diameter.

In a nutshell, I am very confused. Could someone PLEASE help me out? What would be a good ammunition/projectile that meets my State requirements?
