Pellet cone depth

Yeah. Hence my “yawn” above. I like to yawn at trolls, as I am too tired to give any gogo juice to them

Yawn.

Here is my stab at answering your question:

Cone depth has no effect on velocity. Velocity will be governed mainly by the mass (weight) of the pellet. Friction in the barrel also has an affect but isn't something you really notice unless shooting slugs.

Cone depth can have an effect on accuracy because it can change where the center of gravity of the pellet is. Just this variable alone doesn't tell us anything about the accuracy of the pellet, though. The length of the pellet, the twist rate of the barrel, the velocity the pellet is shot at, fit in the barrel, etc. are just a few variables I can think of off the top of my head that would interact with the pellet shape to determine accuracy. I personally wouldn't worry about the cone depth variable at all when looking for a most accurate pellet. It is a deep rabbit hole you are peering down.

This is the most simple and succinct answer thus far. Thank you.
