    Nothing at all wrong with those methods. I do it the same way without any problems using a double spider and a floating reamer holder I built for myself.

    There's a thread on this forum in the archives about a 'Billy Bob hardness tester'. I just go by that. I don't need perfection, an educated guess is plenty close enough for me.

    When the time comes, I plan to go with a heavy bullet (> 400 grain), hollow point in soft lead (< 10 BHN) and black powder velocity.

    If I can hit it, the target animal will have a VERY bad day.

    You might try powder coating. Doesn't cost a lot to get started and might be just the ticket for something like this.

    Depending upon the severity of the pitting, that is.

    Agreed. Not to mention the length of the testing. 1 MOA at 50 yards does NOT automatically mean the same at 100yds. Let along longer distance.

    Not really. H&Rs use an underlug design that doesn't allow for a set-back. Besides, at least 1/3 of the barrel is heavily damaged and the chamber end is where the damage is located.
