That plotting chart posted by Chuck Bishop on that earlier thread was done by Austin Hogan, possibly with some input from others.
Richard Hoover worked closely with Austin, Charlie Price, and Bill Furnish to determine which guns in the more than 100 guns they measured were overbored, honed over or were actually true 11 gauge guns.
Unfortunately Richard Hoover is the only one who is still with us today and it’s too bad that we never hear from him on this forum anymore.
