Minute men patching measurements

[HighUintas]

Does anyone that uses minute men patching (non Teflon) have actual measurements of the thickness vs the stated thickness by compressing hard in caliper jaws?

I'm looking for the measurements on their material that is from 0.015 to 0.020.

The Minutemens material I have is”
marked .015 measures .015
marked .019 measures .018

I might added that this material is very tough and a patch could probably be used multiple times. It is as close to zero compression as anything I’ve tried and the .015 patches are used effectively in place of .018 40 drill in three of my rifles.

Forgot to mention that I’m also using the Minutemen .015 in a vintage .54 cal Belgian percussion pistol but had to get a .520” mould from England to be able to load it without a sledge hammer.
