Hello, can anyone tell give me some specifics on the progressive used in Civil War era muskets? Firstly, was the progressive rifling used have both progressive depth (deep to shallow) and progressive rate of twist (slow to fast), or just one or the other? Did the specs vary based on manufacturer or model?
Does anyone know the progressive depths and rates of twist (progressive or not) for these common civil war era firearms: M1855, M1861, rifled .69" muskets (eg M1842, percussion conversions, and flintlocks), P53 (which models?), Lorenz
Was the rifling different in the rifles of the muskets (aka "two banders") or other carbines, including breech loaders, which used solid conicals rather than minies?
Thanks for your help!
