I have been considering having a spare set of 20ga barrels with pitting at the forcing cone sleeved down to 28ga for use on one of my SXS's. While researching sleeving, I noticed that Kirk Merrington's site also offers rechambering.

From what I am reading, it appears that shorter chamber adapters offer some patterning advantages - allegedly a 28ga fired from a 20ga barrel patterns better than a 28ga fired from a 28ga barrel. I even know people who say the 28ga patterns better than the 20ga.

I do not want the added weight of full length tubes, nor do I want to have to remove a chamber adapter in order to reload. Gauge Mates claims their Gold product can be reloaded without removing the adapter. So...In what scenario would someone rechamber instead of using sug-gauge adapters?
