The most certain way to bulge or rupture a shotgun barrel is to load a smaller gauge shell into a larger
gauge chamber. The smaller gauge shell will not fall completely through the barrel; its rim is caught by
the front of a larger gauge chamber or at the larger gauge’s choke. Your shotgun will misfire (with the
chamber appearing to be empty). It is then possible to load the correct gauge shell behind the smaller
gauge shell. If the shotgun is then fired, the result will be a so-called ˝12-16, 12-20, 20-28 or 28-.410
burst” which can cause extensive damage to your shotgun and possible serious injury to you and others.
We can assume no responsibility for incidents which occur through the use of shells of nonstandard
dimension or those developing pressures in excess of SAAMI (Sporting Arms and Ammunition
Manufacturers’ Institute) established standards.
