    Not sure if this is a "best idea" but other people will soon put me right if not.

    Judging from other people's writing, you may have to go looking for a different weight of ammo to run through a bush pig.
    Do you reckon bro? Im getting it done from DPT might have to inquire about that. Cheers max

    Yeah, ask them. What I don't want for you to do is have a large amount cut off your barrel that you'll look at later and say "I wish I hadn't done that."

    Thinking about it, if your barrel is a 20, then losing 2 inches and turning it into 18 isn't that much drama.
