The bourrelet bearing surface generally has a longitudinal width of about one-sixth caliber machined with a smooth surface to reduce friction wear of the rifling lands. If the bourrelet diameter is not a close fit, the in-bore yaw angle will affect the stability of a projectile during flight. However, excessive pressures may be generated within ...
United States Navy guns typically used rifling depth between one-half and one percent of caliber. Projectile bourrelet diameter specification was 0.015 inches (0.38 mm) less than land-to-land diameter with a minus manufacturing tolerance, so average clearance was about 0.012 inches (0.30 mm).
The 40 cm Mantel Ring Kanone L/35, was a 40 cm 35 caliber long Krupp Mantel Ring Kanone (MRK). It was a super heavy gun built for the defense of the Italian naval base of La Spezia, where four guns were placed in armored cupolas. It was transported by a special railway carriage.

The ignition took place via the breech block, so that the ignition of the charge started in the center of the bottom part of the charge. This led to more regular velocities and less strain on the gun. The model 1870 guns also used less offensive gunpowder and longer projectiles with copper driving bands and a bourrelet. [4]
Russian 122 mm shrapnel shell, which has been fired, showing rifling marks on the copper driving band around its base and the steel bourrelet nearer the front. A driving band or rotating band is a band of soft metal near the base of an artillery shell, often made of gilding metal, [1] copper, or lead.
The British standard ordnance weights and measurements for the artillery were established by the Master General of Ordnance in 1764, and these were not altered until 1919, [citation needed] when the metric system was additionally introduced.
.950 JDJ cases are approximately 70 mm in length, and are based on a 20×102mm Vulcan case shortened and necked up to accept the .950 in (24.1 mm) bullet. Projectiles are custom-made and most commonly weigh 3,600 grains (230 g) which is 8.2 ounces or over half a pound.
