What modern commonly available rifling is best?  Pope rifling wasn't really intended for PP was it?

Pope and Schalk both made barrels for GG bullets.

Pope's rifling form had a groove whose floor did not follow the arc of the bore, as modern rifling generally does.  The floor was almost flat, so that in the middle it was barely more than bore diameter.

from the sound of it,
pope rifling would be fine for pp bullets, both bore and groove diameter, depending on the chamber.

The chamber ends at groove diameter and GG bullets that shoot the best, .342 requires  firm mechanical force to breech seat.  Sounds like that might be a little hard on PP?

Do PP rifles shoot out like RB muzzle loaders do after 5 or 10 thousand shots?

I have no experience on this, but I do have a couple of patents with Pitney Bowes on mailing machines, and I can tell you paper is abrasive due to it's clay content.

That doesn't sound like it would be prudent to  PP in a Pope barrel.

Clay is added to paper to add weight, a quality paper does not have any clay. Ask the paper maker before purchasing.

I've observed that there is clay residue left when burning glossy paper, as from magazines and catalogs, but not from burning ordinary bond paper.  Do I need to look more closely?

Yes, a call to the maker is money well spent.

Linky no worky.   But if I cut-and-paste it into the URL command line in my browser, it does.

Bottom line appears to me to be: Modern papers almost all have clay, but this didn't start until synthetic bonding agents became available.  So the old-timers would not have worn their barrels out much, but we will.
