Shooting fair right off the bat. What's the ROT on that barrel, anyone?

Yeah- just caught that when re-reading the title, Kibler Fowler.
That's amazing accuracy for a smoothie, however, the larger the bore, the better potential accuracy there is. Same with rifles.
I once shot a 2 1/2" group of 5 at 50 yards, with Taylor's 1748 (I think) Bess.
Here's Enfield's target. I have to work at it to do better than that with a rifle (which is originally why I thought rifled). A fluke?
