The round balls aren't very aerodynamic,and lose velocity and energy far faster than a conical. They don't weigh as much either,so they won't "thump" an animal as a conical will. I don't think I'd ever take a 200yd shot unless I was shooting a sabot. Finding an in-line that will meet our requirements is easy. Cabelas has more than a few that will work fine. I have a CVA .54cal. that I've had for a few years. I haven't killed anything with it yet,but I have no doubt it would punch thru an animal. With 110gr. of Pyrodex and a 425gr. conical,it will punch over 12" into a round of Ponderosa Pine.
