Yes please.
I would love to see some pictures of a rifle in this condition. I have heard it mentioned so often and I still cannot conceve of how it can happen without something else letting go at the breech first so huge are the forces required.
Yes, that's a common misconception. It has nothing to do with pressure.

I have several good friends that I help to locate double rifles for. When a nice candidate is located, an offer is made contingent on evaluation by a gunmaker. Of the last five that have gone to the gunmaker (in this internet world, I usually don't see them until they get there), two turned out to have rifling imprint on the outside of the barrels (overstressed rifling). I've seen dozens of them, and have personal experience with it. A hunting partner insisted on shooting Barnes X in his 9.3 double despite warnings. Roughly 40 rounds of Barnes X left the barrels with severe overstressed rifling.

Holland doesn't warrant their DR barrels with monos, at least they didn't the last time I asked about it, and they're far from the only ones that don't.

given that mono's are a commercial load.
Not for double rifle cartridges they're not.
