A patched round ball does not have rifling marks - the marks are on the patch that drops off a short distance in front o the rifle.
A saboted round also does not have rifling marks - marks are on the sabot just like the patched round ball.
A slug round operates on the minnie ball principle and will have the rifling marks.
