"Round ball" double guns - 04/17/08 01:47 PM
Hello, I'm new here but have been reading and enjoying this site for some time. I have always had a likeing for old doubles and own several. I now have a question. Some old SXS breech loading rifled guns in the black powder era were made to shoot round balls loaded in cartridges. I have never heard discussions about the rifling twist or depth of grooves, width of lands etc. Any one knowledgerable about this??? Thanks, Ed
