Use a Chambers White Lightnin' liner.

What Mike said.  And get it directly from Jim Chambers because there are aftermarket knockoffs going by the same name.

To answer your question, yes, the inside of the liner is coned, kind of bell shaped. I too highly recommend the  touch hole liners sold by Jim Chambers only.

The liners I use are stainless steel, although not from Chambers.  They do come coned on the inside; but I will usually open the cone a bit more before installing.  Being that the flash holes are very small, I drill all mine out with a 1/16" drill bit; ignition is ultra reliable.
