conoidal bullets were accurate at much greater distances. they were better then musket balls because musket balls were only accurate at close range and conoidal were not.
In money or trade?
The cost of a musket in 1775 varied depending on the quality and type of musket. On average, a standard musket could range from $2 to $20, with higher quality or custom-made muskets costing more.
Depending on which musket, and under what manufacturing contract, anywhere fro $11 to $14- which was a LOT on money at that time.
Musket balls were typically made of lead and usually weighed between 0.5 to 1 ounce (approximately 14 to 28 grams). The exact weight could vary based on the type of musket and its caliber. For example, a .69 caliber musket ball would weigh around 1 ounce, while smaller calibers would weigh less. The lead used in musket balls was often cast in molds to achieve uniformity.

Around $12 which was a lot of money in those days!
The cost of muskets varied greatly because of the revolutionary war. The best average is around $12 which was a considerable amount of money then. Guns were relatively expensive then because they were in short supply with the government often buying them out of stock. They could occasionally be obtained from a battlefield as there were often many left that were not picked up by remaining soldiers.
