Howdy, I just sighted, tuned and figured my load for my .45 cal blue Ridge- .44 RB and .012 ticking with 50 grains of 3f. Incredibly pleased at its accuracy and precision. My only concern (reiterated by my shooting partner) was that the rifleing seemed pretty sharp (to handle conicals?). Noticed that my discharged patches were cut on the sides- also seemed to be a tad difficult to ram home ball. My partner has 30 years of experienced and suggested swabbing a little steel wool with oil down the barrel to blunt the rifleing a tad. Of course, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it," so would anyone advise something else or recomend ignoring the "problem"? Thanks a ton
