In this video, Rex explains the thermal and mechanical processes of rifle bore erosion and how they can affect the axis of the bore at the time the bullet exits the muzzle. As bore erosion occurs, the frictional dynamics between the bullet and the projectile change which can significantly alter the harmonic signature of the rifle barrel changing the point of impact at long range. This is crucial information to understand before we get into establishing an effective cleaning regime for long range precision rifles. Be sure to study these videos on bore erosion as they will be very important as we move on.

Rex's 2:30am sleep deprived personal commentary on thermal and mechanical bore erosion is as follows: Yup, them old fire balls squirt in them there old barrels and wrecks'em after a while, that's for dang sure. One time, I shot at one of them metal deals and that bullet flew too high, and I was all like "what?" and then I realized that the barrel was in its break in phase and that I was hitting high due to increased MV due to micro-cracking in that gosh-dern rifle bore. So, I had to move ALL my ballistic data down by a full Mil just to correct for MV change due to bore erosion effects. Crazy, huh? Thought this wouldn't affect stuff enough to throw ya off did ya, you was wrong! I wonder how much stuff I could type in here before the video is done uploading. I have to baby this goofy thing until it uploads all the way, or it will all crash and you will have to go to a mine and dig a hole and get your own steel and make your own barrel so you can test it to see how the bore will erode over time for yourself. That's would suck wouldn't it.
