My .54 Colerain mid-weight barrel has land to land diameter of .542" consistently on all lands. Groove depth measurement between .575" and .5775" This means I have to find a patch .033" - .0355" above bore diameter to seal "properly" In all honesty I don't see sealing issues on the few patches I've been able to recover, but will need look harder and make sure. This is a LOT of patch material required in my opine, a lot of material that must bite the lead at the lands regardless of what size ball one uses. Colerain web site says they cut their grooves to .012 per side, but mine is .0165 and one that is .0175 deep.
Any of your muzzleloaders have such "generous" grooves? Just curious...........
