mould with a gas check cut ? Cast soft and sans the check it should work as a conical. Might not fit into cut in frame to allow to rotate under rammer but off gun loading always works. .44 special case is about right volume for a 250 to 300 gr.

Reason I suggest a gas check design is the pseudo heel allows you to load it plumb. Hard to get a conical in there straight without heel or tapered diameter.

My walker is currently loaded with a .44 special case of pyrodex p and a r.c.b.s. version of the lyman maxiball muzzleloading conical. No grease in grooves but a smear of soy wax over the top.
