Jimmy, you've been screaming this since you were Don Nolan. As I recall, you don't hunt, you shoot trap. Having shot a bit of trap, I can see your point- at the trap range. Most here hunt more than they shoot targets. The only hunting I can imagine that would allow, or cause, barrels to get that hot would be doves or driven birds. Other forms of hunting simply don't allow enough shots to be fired to create the situation in the first place. The splinter allows a more natural pointing and swing than a beavertail, hence the presence of splinters on game guns.
