It has something to do with the 50,000 lbs. of pressure behind a copper jacket lead bullet shoved thru a hole 24" long and .004 smaller than the bullet.

Only you could know if it effects your accuracy...unless we shoot your gun we couldn't possibly know that.

It happens cause thats what guns do...........
