My understanding is that Ballard style rifling is conventional ( most rifles are ballard style ) cuts - usually 4 to 6 groves and they are fairly deeply cut in comparision to microgroove.
Microgroove has many more grooves cut - up to 16 for ones like the .22lr IIRC but they are very shallow in depth.
Ballard rifling supposedly works better for cast bullets.
