Remember it’s the cut of the grooves, and tightness of the bore where it contacts that matters - holes don’t contact so as long as the edges are gone and it grips the bullet right, then it’s just how bad it will foul.

Looks like it may be a candidate for bore-coat.I've never used it before,but after 16 rounds down the tube it appears to be a copper collector,especially after the bullet contact the pitted area.I know Dyna-coat has been highly praised on here.Would it help on this?
