wahunterinrok,you never told us the twist of your rifle.Here are some guide lines: 1 in 66 will shoot patched round balls well, 1 in 48 will still shoot patched round balls fairly well and also shoot conicals very well,it may also shoot some saboted rounds ok, 1 in 32 and 1 in 28 are saboted bullet shooters,they may also shoot some conicals well.Every muzzleloader has it's own personality and likes, but these are some good guide lines to get you started
