If I were faced with shooting a bulged barrel my concern would be in the stress created against the constriction of the far end of the bulge. the ejecta is naturally going to want to fill the area of the bulge but then it needs to reconform to the parallel barrel walls beyond the bulge. I would have no qualms at all with shooting barrels with a properly repaired bulge providing the wall thickness isn't compromised.
