Like someone said, it must have been a total of 500 to 600 total JB strokes.
If I remember, I will post on here whenever I take that gun out of the safe and shoot it again, and report on the damage.
Thanks everyone
It won't be "damage" as much as just reduced barrel life. Might it have been equivalent to 100 rounds, 10 rounds, 1000 rounds. No one will be able to tell you exactly. Lesson learned, don't sweat it now.

Just shoot it.
You'll find it a whole lot easier to clean now.
