[QUOTE="Rflshootr, post: 2406897, member: 10284"] After you shoot it, look for a carbon pattern...should look like even lines coming from each land. This particular barrel is an 8 groove, but it gives you the idea. I'd bet not many people have seen an 8 groove or even knew they existed. Normal damage from a cleaning rod jag usually occurs near 6 o'clock when the jag gets pulled back through after pushing the patch out if care is not taken. You wouldn't think a brass jag would cause damage to a steel barrel, but it will, especially if the jag is a larger diameter, then the rod. [/QUOTE]
