In this episode we go over the start of our series on how to get good working dope for your rifle.  There are several things we are going to cover while diving into this subject with one being the issue with the curvature of the rifle bore.  I said that right, the rifle bore.  You're rifling inside your barrel is curved and although most don't talk about it, most don't even know about it.  It has several issues with a rifles accuracy while trying to build, but for shooters, it causes issues with trying to figure out how to get good working D.O.P.E. for your rifle.

Here is a couple videos to show you just how common this is and how some try to fix it, including bending the barrel to straighten out the inside.  Amazing to watch and jaw dropping to think that is so bad that it has to be bent back out after the barrel has been made.  Below are a couple YouTube videos posted by others showing the process.
