[QUOTE="Wobblyshot1, post: 5694012, member: 9066"] Not in this gun as it has a round ball barrel one turn in 66" twist and radius groove rifling. However, I've shot thousands of conicals(minie balls) in my 58 caliber Enfield muskets when I was a regular competitor in the NMLRA matches at Friendship and elsewhere. I shot hollow base minies that weighed over 500 grains. Both the guns I used the most had one in 48" twist and shallow rifling. During the great war (1861-65) the service charge for these guns was 60 to 70 grs black powder. In target shooting I only shot 45/50 grs even out to 200 yards. Rainbow trajectory had to be taken into account for. With all that said, I never hunted with them. Second pic is a bunch of minies l cast for the Enfield.
