You can do it once anyway.
I’ve never needed to do his since I have more shotguns than I need (but not as many as I want.)
You can do it once anyway.
I've heard stories about people doing this WITHOUT a reducer, where the smaller shell falls down into the barrel, then a larger, full size shell gets inserted right after it and fired. I hear it's real ugly when that happens.
Reminds me of the story my buddy told me that happened while he was a Marine stationed at Camp David during the Reagan years.
One day VP Bush and his sons showed up and wanted to go out to the range to shoot. My buddy was charged with assembling the presidential shotguns and ammo and they proceeded to shoot.
Well, one of the sons (I can’t remember which one but IT WAS NOT our latest President), placed a different gauge shot shell into the 12 gauge and squeezed off. According to Mike, he could have been killed but apparently got dusted up a bit.
Well, the CO wanted to throw the book at Mike for somehow getting different shells mixed with the guns but Old man Bush stepped in and said to forget the whole matter.
True story.. I have been in Mike’s house and have seen all the photos with him and Ron/Nancy.
