when it's fired, & hits the rifling section, could that initial contact with the fairly chunky rifled end kinda grab & slightly pull the gun away from the shooter,reducing recoil...theoretically ,at least smile

Loose in smooth part of barrel can't be good for accuracy. My Ithaca 37 smoothbore bird gun with rifled choke and Lightfield Lites will shoot cloverleafs at 50m. With Foster type slugs one is lucky to hit large milk jug consistently at that range.
