It boils down to answering the question about how much better could round ball performance be from a smooth bore if only the balls were more round?
Does anyone think that the performance of a slightly more perfectly round ball would improve enough when fired out of a smooth bore to exceed the performance of one that was fired from a rifled barrel?
I don't think that there would be a quantum leap in round ball performance that could make up for that much of a difference.
The best way to find out otherwise is to find a way to actually make it happen.
