I have a Lyman Deerstalker 54cal with 1:48 Twist. How much improvement in accuracy/consistency would I expect see if I would send it and get the rifling cut deeper to make it strictly a roundball rifle. Never shot a conical and don't intend to start. I am use to really good accuracy with my 1:60 GPR's and my TC Renegades with 1:66 roundball barrels 1-2 inch groups at 50yds when I do my part off a rest. The Deerstalker does have a shorter sighting radius, which might be part of the problem. Just not use to 3-4 inch groups at 50yds. Yes that is minute of deer at 50yds, just use to better groups when shooting. I am just wondering if it would be worth the investment to have the rifling cut deeper or just accept what I am getting. Anyway I thought I would ask for any of you that have had it done or know of someone who's had it done and how much improvement was seen. DANNY
