Very simple fix provided you or your smith has the right tool. I had 2 very early VH 28 gauges a few years apart in SNs and experienced the same problem(s). I took both guns to Del Gregos after a grouse hunt and Lawrence relieved the rim cuts on both guns in about 6 minutes. The procedure reminded me of using a piston ring ridge reamer after rebuilding an engine - 3 or 4 swipes and they were done.
