My new .44-75 Ballard

Sam.
With the muzzleloaders the grooves where cut deep for better shooting the fouled barrel.
I have laid all of my concerns aside with the barrel. When I was fire forming the newly formed cases to fit the chamber with just dumping in the powder and using several trays of left over bullets it shot a lot better then I expected.
I feel it is the chamber design that really effects on how well the rifle will shoot as well as the barrel. Then the best of those two can be turned to junk by the guy putting them together.
For now I will put the load development aside till I get a scope to put on it. My eyes just don't work well enough to use the tang sights for fine tuning the rifle anymore.
