Lots of stories floating around about this happening, but very little evidence to support them.

I have seen that on one vintage double which had a lot of X bullets (the ones without the grooves) shot through it. Then the rifle was pointed toward the sun, the rifling pattern could be faintly seen on the outside of the barrels.
I don't doubt that examples of rifles with the OSR condition may exist.
It's that very few critical details on these rifles come forward.
Stories like Hollands episode where they wrecked a barrel set on a new double when regulating it with mono bullets, but precisely what happened would be nice to know.
Same for 400NE's reported problems with Barnes X in doubles.
I think all double rifle owners would like more information on the subject.
