Yes, he does. That was stated in the opening post.

That's a qualitative assessment rather than a quantitative measurement, but it's certainly a "clue." Whether or not it makes a difference worth fretting over is a separate question.
Shooting some additional groups -- from a rest, at a distance longer than 7 yards -- might be useful if done in a scientific way. It would need a spotting scope. Mark the chamber with the tight throat, and always make that the last shot. Fire groups, using the spotting scope to look at the group after each shot. If the first shots make a good group and the tight chamber
always produces the flyer that ruins the group, then you have substantiation for thinking that reaming that throat might make a difference.
As has been commented, though, any improvement is likely to be minimal.
