I own two muzzleloaders, one is a Knight 50cal, the other one is
a Beartooth Magnum 45cal. I have read many threads that knock
any ML with the Spanish barell. You know the pressures & all.
Today while cleaning both of my MLs, I noticed a rather large
difference in the rifling. With both barells squeaky clean, with bore
light, it is extremely difficult to see the rifling in the Knight. But
with the Beartooth the lands and grooves are very pronounced.
Both are 1-28 twist. At the farm where I shoot the Beartooth is
much more accurate than the Knight American. I was wondering
if anyone else has noticed that the rifling in the Knight rifles is
not very pronounced. I shot with same powder charge and bullet
weight. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
