I'm not new to firearms, but don't know much about black powder arms. I'm probably going to be getting a replica Remington New Model Army or Navy soon and need to learn how to safely use it and the laws involved. At this point I want to use conical bullets exclusively.

Welcome.
Don't discount the round balls in cap revolvers. By the time you smush them in the cylinder and then the pistol spits them out through the forcing cone they are conicaled a bit, anyway. And they cost half as much unless you cast our own.

welcome to the forum!
Your first post...and you're already into controversy.
Welcome to the Forum!!
We are glad you found us, and heartily welcome you to join in the discussions. Shoot what you want, and experiment with different components. You may discover that the roundball fits your needs better than a conical...or not. You'll have fun. You will also discover a lot of other areas of muzzleloading that will eventually pique your interest. You may even get interested in flintlocks...then your first question can be : "Should I use leather or lead to wrap the flint?" or "Which side of the patch (smooth or rough) goes against the ball?" or "What's the best lube for my patches?" or.... You get the idea.
Enjoy the journey. You are among experienced people willing to share their knowledge and experience.
