Hello All,
I understand wear on rifling in rifled barrels--high velocity, hard bullets and high temperatures cause erosion to the rifling, throat/leade and muzzle crown.
If I'm dealing with a chokeless smooth-bore shotgun barrel, shooting slugs through a 5 degree throat/leade, what will wear on the barrel look like? Do they "shoot out" like rifle barrels or do the groups eventually open up?
Thanks,
