Rifling is a waste of time for Foster slugs in my opinion . For punkin balls it may or may not help I’ve never tried , although I’ve seen some Ross Seyfried articles where he paper patched roundballs and shot them in double rifles . Obviously at ignition a roundball will obturate some initially and give the rifling more surface to grip . My two rifled barrels have only tasted factory sabot slugs so all the rifling touched was plastic .
