Well guys I was getting my gun ready for doing some patterning with a "new to me" SSX choke I bought off ebay. Was purchased in summer of last year. I went to screw it in and it stopped about 1/4 inch before being flush. Hmmm? Well turns out the doggone thing is swelled. Right before the threads. I contacted the seller and they are going to refund my money but dang. I was really looking forward to trying this out.
So here is what I am pondering. What load did this person shoot that ruined the choke? Is anything I am going to shoot do this to my gun? I've heard of it happening and have seen one Benelli SBEII with a bulged barrel right before the choke. I do not want to do this to my gun. The replacement barrel for my gun is about $400.
