Attached is to this email is a picture of a 7mm F Class barrel I told you about. It is chambered in .284win. At 100 rounds the barrel started having accuracy issues. The picture of the barrel is at 800 rounds only. He cleaned it after every 25 rounds fired. Bore should measure .277" x .284". It now measures .279" x .2855". You can see how the bristles of the brush are dragging up the sides, over the top and down the other side of the rifling/lands. The brush is trying to rotate with the twist but doesn't always. The lands stick up so they always take the worst of the beating when it comes to cleaning damage.
