I think most cap and ball shooters use round balls in their pistols and I have too in the past, but I'd like to try shooting some conical bullets. I'm thinking of getting a Lee conical mold in .456, designated for the Ruger OA. I plan on sizeing it down in a bullet sizer lubricator, with pure beeswax to fill the grooves in the bullet, I'm thinking that would seal the chamber and eliminate the need for wonder wads or chamber grease. Anyone here use conicals in their C+B revolvers? What do you think of Lee aluminum molds? The pistols I'd like to shoot these in would be a Uberti Walker, Pietta 1860 army and a Pietta 1873 cap and ball.
