[QUOTE="Meelosh, post: 245507, member: 3011"] Life has me in a holding pattern, so I’m having a real lazy Sunday. Watching Meateater on Netflix and cleaning all the guns in the house. And that got me thinking since we’ve discussed it before about cleaning the bore on a shotgun. Some have said it’s pointless, doesn’t affect the shot. But what I’m curious about is pitting in the bore. I looked at an old Ithaca SxS the other day at a pawn shop that I thought I could refurbish until I looked down the barrels and it looked like a reverse 3D topo map of the boundary waters. From what I’ve read, the old black powder cartridges would have this effect commonly. But will modern rounds have the same effect with the proper amount of neglect? I haven’t found an answer the fully satisfied my curiosity. You guys go ahead and nearly come to blows over this while I polish mine to a mirror shine. I’ll check back in a few hours. [/QUOTE]
