[QUOTE="mudygmc, post: 1663712, member: 57931"] Hey guys, I just picked up a bore scope. Got a couple rifles I'm curious about. Just wondering if you guys know of a good source for info on barrel erosion. Curious to try and understand exactly what im looking at what it means and solutions. Just a couple of examples. My 338 lapua kind of looks like cracked clay or a partially burnt log. It appears to just be on the lands. The rifle still shoots under .5moa so not a big deal yet. My 22creed is running right at .5moa. There is a gracious forming at the start of the bore and lands are flat for a bit. I just got the scope so I dont know what they looked like new. I assume the radious and smooth lands is the beginning of throat erosion. Right at 400rds through it and they have been hot. So I'm fine with that. I mainly got it to check a couple rifles I am having accuracy issues with and to get a feel for proper bore cleaning. Just noticed these two things on the first rifles i picked up. My internet is terrible here. So kind of curious if there was a good book on the subject. But I will take any info as I'm just starting to play with the bore scope and have little knowledge on the subject. Thanks, Adam [/QUOTE]
