Not sure when Ithaca went to modern steels I wouldn't risk a fine old double a single may be less affected. If you are doing your own loading Ballistic Research used to cut mylar wraps for large size steel loads. These and a buffer like Grex would help some. If you can't get a definitive answer then I might try one and check before and after with a bore scope for scoring and measure for expansion. Light scoring can be removed with polishing. A belled choke would most likely need to be replaced with a tube.


"When you disarm the people, you commence to offend them and show that you distrust them either through cowardice or lack of confidence, and both of these opinions generate hatred." Niccolo Machiavelli
