[QUOTE="arch408, post: 1798072, member: 59036"] I've seen slightly bulged barrels. At first, I thought they might have been caused by an obstruction like a patch or something similar. Now, I believe it was caused by a liquid in the barrel. It didn't complete obstruct the barrel, but my theory is that the bullet pushed the liquid until the bullet outran it and then as it passed the fluid, since liquids are not compressible, something had to give and that was the barrel. It swaged the barrel with hydraulic pressure causing the minor bulge. Now I always clean new rifle barrels before I shoot them and I run a tight patch through a used gun before I buy it to insure there are no bulges because they are extremely hard to see. [/QUOTE]
