Large Gouge in New Barrel Grooves

[YerrowSniper]

I got this barrel a little while back.

I just got around installing it and took the opportunity to bore cam it as it wouldn't group well.
There is at least one large gouge in the groove =(



It's a quality barrel. I won't name them as I just reached out to them to see if they will do anything about it.
Could something like this affect accuracy?

About 2 seconds in can see a gouge to the right of the land that parallels it for quite a ways.

It's right on top of a land.

Where is it at location wise? Right in front of the chamber/throat area?

Middle of the barrel?

Near the muzzle end?

The gouge is past the midway point.

I stand corrected...it's right on the right side of the land in the groove if your running down towards the muzzle.

I had to look at the video again.
