Since this is the black powder forum, I will confuse you good folks with something you might not know. In the days of muzzle loading, around 1850, it was not too uncommon for barrels to have 0 twist rifling, in other words, straight grooves with NO turn. Quite few people at that time still didn't really believe spinning a bullet made it more accurate, but they wanted grooves to hold the black powder crud and let the gun fire more shots before becoming unloadable.

Jim, I think I ran into one of them on another forum.
