Bruce: On that 20 ga, based on the .008 loss per honing, those barrels would have been honed at least 3 times to get down to .006 if starting at .030 if I got the math right. This leads to my continuing education questions.
Does honing serve a practical purpose verses a cosmetic purpose?
Does light pitting cause problems for continued shooting?
Hypothetically, does a single deep pit [let's say it leaves .020 at that spot] have the same potential for barrel destruction as the honing to remove it or would honing the entire barrel be far more problematic?
Finally, is there a means to fill a pit and leave the bwt alone, as opposed to remove steel to the depth of the pit thereby reducing bwt over the entire barrel length?
Drew: The barrel schematic shows no forcing cone. I'm wondering about bwt around the cone. Thoughts?
Thanks,
Jack
