Apart from the obvious benefit of protecting the lands and grooves at the muzzle, are there benefits from a ballistics point of view with regards to the angle (90deg or an angle) or type of crown?

i have experimented with my own f-class rifles the 90 deg target recessed crown and the 11 deg and i cant notice any diffrence ,as long as its cut sharp and true to the bore not the lands thats more important
True that. The 11 degree thing hit in the US in the 70's as a top shooter/gunsmith said that it was best with BT bullets. I remember people bringing in accurate 500M match rifles with perfect crowns and wanting them recut with 11-degree crowns. Soon it became a "standard".~Muir
