The verdict :
I brought my Python to the best pistolsmith I know. Timing/lock up surprisingly good, considering the amount it was shot. However, the forcing cone is worn very thin (less than half the thickness of a new one) and has shortened more on one side. Seen under magnification, erosion stands out.
Remedy :
Set back the bbl. a few turns and ream a new forcing cone.

3 shots do not make a group, they show a point of aim or impact.
5 shots are a group.
