I know this has been covered before, but for the life of me I can't seem to find much info on it.
I've been shooting round balls out of revolvers for a long time now. Pretty much know what to expect there. Recently I came into possession of a mould with two cavities, one for round ball and one for a short conical. Having never loaded or fired a conical from a cap & ball revolver, I'm curious what the functional differences are, and what advice, warnings, etc. y'all might have about it.
Since they had such moulds back in 'the day', I'm assuming there was some reason for them. I'd love to be enlightened.
Thanks in advance for any responses.
