I did a llot of shooting the Great Plains and aconical, it will take a max power charge and a light bullet, actually the lightest that PR bullets had (430gr ifI remember right). acheived 1.5" at a 100 yrds. but I agree the round ball should be fine.

The roundball will be fine. For conicals thatmight work in it, try these:

RE: .54 great plains w/ conicals
I have a Lyman in 54 Cal. The only thing other than the roundball I've tried is the Buffalo Ballet. I couldn't any sort of groups with them at all. If you find anything that groups fairly tight let us know.
