So are the grooves the same diameter as the chambers? And what of the lands? Twist rate?
Guessing you use somewhat heavy projectiles since that’s generally a magnum caliber (modern).

The chambers are a little bigger in diameter than the rifling groove diameter.
That way when the hind ends of the bullets get sized to slip into the chambers they're not less than groove diameter. The best bullets so far are Lyman numbers 41026 and 41028 and the Lee 195 grain SWC. Using them the same as the old design "conicals", just enjoying the last century of new molds.
