Simply put, is a muzzleloader rifled all the way back to the breechplug or is there a rifleing free area back there ?

In any black powder gun it is important to have the bullet seated tight to the powder charge. A jump to the rifling would be detrimental to accuracy at best and at worst might act like a seperated load or bore obstruction and cause pressure spikes. Black is a totally different beast than smokeless.
Some have an underbore cavity in the breach plug but most are rifled right to the plug.
Only other case that I can think of would be a paper cartridge Sharps and I've never used one myself so not sure what the chamber dimensions are.
