Other than being pleasantly surprised by the excellent condition of the bores when I cleaned them of 2 well used 12 bore over and unders (a Valmet and an SKB - both I assume made with chromed bores) I have little experience of the benefits of the process.
Do members find that factory chromed bores offer a real protection, particularly in humid and/or salty conditions?
If so, given that opening the chokes must lose that protection for at least an inch or more at the muzzle, would it not be better to try spreader loads instead?
