Yup, if it does change anything, which is doubtful. You don't really think that much gas gets by the plastic wad just because the forcing cone is ground out do you?
Probably not. But, in my case, it was nice to remove spent ammunition from the gun that didn't have the end ripped off. Spent plastic cartridges, with the ends ripped off, are somewhat un-appealing to me.
The gun doesn't do that anymore. I'm going to guess that is a good thing.

Sounds to me like you were shooting 2.75 inch hulls in 2.5 inch chambers....?.....Did this happen in those French guns you always talk about.....?
Old German guns have very sharp cones and will not tolerate over length hulls, as do some others.
If you shoot the correct length hulls for whatever chamber length you have
with the original forcing cones, there should never be any ripped ends on the hulls, ever........(unless the hulls were worn out from reloading too many times in the first place).......
Is it possible you were using the wrong length hulls where the ends were opening into the forcing cones allowing the shot cups to rip the ends....?....
This is a common classic occurance in some guns if you shoot hulls too long for the chambers......In all my years of shooting thousands upon thousands of rounds all with original forcing cones and chokes in numerous original old shotguns, I've never ripped the ends off of any hulls, which would get anybody's attention fast......
But of course I shoot ammo that fits the chamber in the gun, which is probably important.Anybody else around here experiencing "ripped off ends" from original cones with correct and proper length ammunition....?....
