A rifle bore is measured by determining its diameter, typically expressed in inches or millimeters. The measurement is taken from land to land, which refers to the raised portions of the rifling inside the barrel, rather than from groove to groove. For example, a .30 caliber rifle has a bore diameter of approximately 0.308 inches. This measurement is crucial for ensuring that the correct ammunition is used for optimal performance and safety.
