Sir Scotty
A 5.5-pound hammerless, waterproof muzzle loader for Blackhorn 209 or H4198 up to 45,000 psi with, with 1:18" twist, for 300-grain bullet is a winner for sure.

Is this the Parker bullet you are using ?:

Interesting implications for any .45-caliber rifle work, might find application in turning any .458 WinMag into a muzzleloader
when the zombie apocalypse or other chaos comes and make-do must make-do.

IIRC, Woodman Arms offer a "full bore" option or whatever they called it, with cut rifling instead of the usual McGowen button rifling ?
I assume this is for non-sabot, non-Power Belt, jacketed bullet that obturates into the rifling ?
How is that bore & groove different.
What kind of fitting of bullet to rifling did you have to do to get such great results ?

I am stuck on the .45-cal CVA Paramount but might be able to adapt some of your techniques to that.
