Frankie,

My guess is the end of the battery acts as a reflector when shining a light in the muzzle. It helps to make the rifling grooves stand out. Often times, a regular bore light dropped in the barrel can "overexpose" or "wash out" the rifling grooves.
Thanks for the tip, I never knew that. Learn something new here everyday.
