So, plan is to get a Hosford gauge, measure barrels, especially those where the chambers are 2 3/4, and not have any more work done to them.
Shooting them will not wear them out.
Use only light loads, even in repro Parkers.
As I am learning, heavier really doesn’t mean any better to break a clay.

Now you got it. Especially the not needing heavy loads to break a target and beat your shoulder.
