Thanks for your reply, but I have to disagree. That fishing weight went down the entire length of the bore, and was swedged down to the exact diameter of the bore at its tightest point. If the chamber was tighter, then the slug would have been squeezed down to match. There is just no doubt about the process. Also, in my experience, the most shooting wear will be at the chamber end of the bore, with less twoard the muzzle end. There is not a safety issue here, I just figured someone had already been down this road, and was wondering about their results. Thanks....DanM
