Patched round ball or saboted?

[Farm manager]

I have an old knight inline and I have only ever fired saboted bullets out of it. What are y'alls thoughts on patched round balls?

I think that the twist rate would be the consideration. If the rifling was 1 in 38 or slower you would have a good chance of shooting PRBs accurately. I still shoot traditional side hammer guns at modest ranges and have been well pleased with PRBs
