3.5" Longbeard #4's through a Primos tight wad and a SBE.  Got 130 with the 4's. Haven't polished the barrel and don't really plan to. Temperature was 60 degrees and barrel is 24".  I haven't bought the choke, just borrowed it. What are your thoughts?

I definitely wouldn't polish the barrel.  130 with 4's is  good in my opinion.

130 with #4's is a turkey killing pattern, nothing else to do, but go hunting
it's not the harvest,it's the chase

130's with 4's is a killer.

I have deep cleaned chrome lined barrels and had a significant increase. Definitely wouldn't polish a chrome lined barrel.

That's 50% of pellets in the 10" circle at 40 yards.  Not bad for a $20 choke and lead shot huh?

You may get more out of it but how dead is dead.  I would roll with that. 
Tell us just how dead do you want them to be and we will see if we can get that for you.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

I don't see how deep cleaning it properly
Would make it worse. Heck, clean it up good.
What have u got to lose?
That's a killer for sure, but you may get
150 in 10"? 
Who knows?
Be the type of person your dog thinks you are.

Yup, I would hunt with that. 130s with 4s ain't nothing to sneeze at!
