Can this revolver be loaded with anything other than round ball? For example, National Bullet sells a 200gr RNFP in the correct caliber. Excluding overall length, are there any other reasons why this isn't feasible? Thanks in Advance

I have never heard of anyone using anything other than round ball for these revolvers.
I do not know what the twist rate is, but it was surely designed for using round balls.
I am not sure what the dimensions are on the bullet listed but I would not try it.

Yes, you can use conical bullets. As long as it fits tightly in the chamber and doesn't stick out past the front of the cylinder it will work fine.

you'll need to get conicals that will clear the lower wall notch of the barrel. sometimes a conical will foul the metal around the base pin, as these repro copies are not expected to be used with anything but ball....unlike the originals. Good luck !!
