I've been a party to two barrel ruptures in modern shotguns. In both cases, it was factory new ammunition used in near new single barreled shotguns.
As was the case in the 10 year old thread, the firearm manufacturers denied the claims, saying it was caused by over pressured or obstructed barrels. The ammunition manufacturers made the gun owners whole, without a peep or squeak, within days of contact.
As far as "good enough", every manufactured product has specifications that are "good enough". They meet or exceed the specifications, and move along.
Another way to say it is, "Hey boss, when do I quit polishing this?"
And, lest one forgets dynamic cycling stresses and multiple QC checks and proof loads per CIP, inclusions manifest at low cycling rates, not 35 years later.
