1938 S/42 P08 - Pitting Barrel?

Trying it again. My Steyr 1912's bore is rougher than that. And it still shoots well with jacketed bullets. But there's lots of leading with cast. After shooting the bore will never clean up the way an unpitted bore will.

I own a 1921 DWM alphabet Luger with a bore like a sewer pipe(worse than yours), and it remains very accurate at the distances that I shoot. I shoot both lead and jacketed bullets through it.
