I do not contend that longer forcing cones do not improve barrel performance. What I said was is that there is no empirical evidence to substantiate that claim. If someone is happy with the reamer results - cool. Forcing cones are difficult to eyeball and a crappy one could be difficult to detect but one improved by recutting could be a boon. To my eye, the Perazzi cones look very rough but the results on the board and targets completely negates any desire on my part to change that.
So I currently have nothing that feels the need of the time and expense involved. Maybe if I could qualify for it I might be tempted hahahaha or not
