Congrats! Funny, I was just gonna post a question about using conicals in a pistol too. Hopefully we can both get our answers here in this thread.
Have fun with yer new toy! :thumbsup:

Short fullbore ones seem to work in my Plains pistol. Do not try sabots they don't work very well. 300g REAL's have stablized fine in that pistol. The Kmart sold Traditions conicals also work. (295g)

The 177g ball will smash through almost anything in the range of your gun so why bother with conicals? LOL!!

(Of course we all know the bullet has more killing power :haha: )

Good luck with your guns!!

Sounds like Buffalo Ball-ets would be just about ideal then. :hmm:
