Kibler's Longrifles Knowledge Base

Should I shoot conicals in a Kibler barrel?

Not recommended. Kibler barrels are optimized for patched round ball. The rifling twist rate is such that you'll get much better accuracy with a round ball. If you want to shoot conicals, a .45 caliber would be a better choice than smaller calibers, but round ball is strongly preferred.
