Default RE: barrel pitting, what to do??

My methods of cleaning use boiling water filling the barrel, then running my brush through the barrel several strokes, dump the water out and repeat several times and till the barrel is scorching hot. then i run cleaning patches through until sparking clean. then run a few dry patches through, then run one with a lube in it. that said, my foul shot is roughly 4 inches of from the rest. i remeber people talking on hear that they leave there gun loaded most of the season with out problems. so i shot it once swapped it twice and then ran 2 dry patches through it as i do every shot. then i reloaded it and it stayed that way for the rest of the season. i never meant to leave it loaded for more than a week but that is what happened. and to those who say it will build moisture in and not go off or hang fire, i believed it but i have never had a problem and didnt with this load when i shot it off. the rest of the barrel is clean as a whistle no pitting nothing. its only right in the chamber.
