I shoot .433" balls that I make in my Colerain .45 barrel with great results. I prefer a thick patch that holds more lube and is less likely to burn through.

I copied and pasted this from their website for you. I talked to a guy named Doug there this past Fri afternoon. He told me that they had about 8 of these 40 cal barrels left. It's absolutely the best deal out there that I've been able to find. All the info is there for you, give him a call. He said once they were gone there would be no more.
BTW, it doesn't say so below, but Doug told me in our conversation on the phone that everything is already assembled and blued. He is going to install the extra lug needed for it to fit my GPR. Their gunsmithing rates are WAY far beyond reasonable.
These barrels are completely assembled with the breech plug, lug, rib, ramrod pipes and adjustable sights installed. Grooves are .010 to .012 deep. Barrels are bored and include a new ramrod and nipple or vent liner.
Green Mountain has stopped making these barrels, but we still have the following in stock.
Caliber Size Length Twist Ignition Price
.40 15/16" 38" 1-48 Percussion $260.00
.50 15/16" 32" 1-70 Flint $220.00
.32 1" 28" 1-48 Percussion $220.00
.45 1" 28" 1-30 Stainless $250.00
.50 1" 28" 1-28 Percussion $220.00

To All:
And here I thought this topic was about .45 caliber roundballs. :hmm:
What does a .40 caliber barrel have to do with .45 caliber roundballs?
Folks. Please stick to things that deal with the subject of the topic.
If another subject seems to be needed, start a different new topic about it.

Mine is on it's way, I ordered it this morning :grin:
To add the extra lug to fit my GPR + shipping it was $320 out the door ready to drop in the stock and blast away. Man, you just can't beat that with a stick!
Don't wait too long because they'll get gone pretty quick.

Sorry Zonie, you're right. This did veer off topic, but Longone asked the question and it just so happened that I had found, and was in the process of ordering the same thing he was looking for and asking about. I mean, it's just traditional MZ talk. How else should I go about getting around a situation like this in the future?
Send him a PT. :thumbsup:

Interesting observation...I just finihsed a rifle with a GM 45 cal barrel. It seems too tight with a .440 ball and a normal thickness patch. If I go to a .010 patch then it gets better. Those thin patches tend to burn through. I am ordering some .433 balls to try out. I want to see if the thick patches work out better.
Thin alone might not be the reason for burn through. Type of material (pure cotton?) and lube are two important factors to look at. Also, make sure it is really a burn through and not cuts from a new barrel.
You can also try an over powder wad like a second patch to help keep it from burning through.
