Most of the bending was for slug shooting for deer hunting. The hardest to bend were Ithaca 20in. slug barrels.

I have seen it done too, Harry. But, there's a difference in making a gun shoot to where you want it to by bending a barrel, as opposed to finding out why it's shooting that way in the first place.
Bending a barrel makes one shoot where you want it to
at a specific range. Less than that distance and it's off, and more than that distance and it's off in the other direction.
My opinion is that, if possible, it's better to correct the issue on the back end of the gun than on the front end. Read Oswald's book and you might agree. Or not.
