On the Rugers the usual (very common) problem isn't the forcing cone but a barrel constriction where the barrel is threaded in the frame. Their "crush fit" really crushes the barrel. You see this occaisionally but more rarely in S&W revolvers. I know this will make some cringe but the "fix" is fire lapping. Beartooth Bullets has a pamplet that covers it really well. It does work and is not detrimental.
