I doubt if the OP will get an answer. Most relines are done on guns that have worn out or neglected bores and are done to preserve a fine old gun's exterior appearance and save a boatload of money.

The kind of experiment he's describing would only be done by a lab trying to verify the value of a given make of liner, or by the very nuttiest of rifle loonies. And a big spender-- a very rare combination in my experience--I'm quite looney enough but 'way too cheap! When curiosity has this high a price, I wait for somebody else to pay.....
