    Not found any big accuracy difference, but semi-wadcutters can be less smooth on feeding through the action.
    People who have been there focus on the fundamentals. People who sit at keyboards all day focus on the trivial and inane.

    Sorry I posted this to the wrong sub-forum - was meant to be in reloading.

    I find that Truncated Cone gives smaller groups than RNFP in my Marlin @ 25m. Of course this may be down to load development and I have not experimented much with RNFP.

    WC and SWC will probably be a PITA to feed.

    Truncated cone gives the tightest groups, the semi wad cutter when loading from the tube in to the breach has a "step"

    Never had a problem feeding semi-wadcutters through my .44 94AE.

    The main point we seem to be missing is that the OP has posted his question in the BP and muzzleloading forum. Rollo, are really shooting BP loads in your underlever?
