[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 568320, member: 30902"] If the erosion is bad enough the bullet will wobble as it's slamming into the rifling. This will set up a harmonic wave that races down the length of the barrel ahead of the bullet which can greatly magnify the "whip" effect particularly on lighter contour barrels. On top of that a lot of gas gets around the bullet dramatically reducing velocity. In 250 rds that should not be an issue but if you are/have been pushing max or above max loads it's certainly possible. [/QUOTE]
