Ive recently stumbled upon a new modified round called cutshells. Now i know this sounds dangerous but i saw another post (http://www.flickr.com/photos/54455625@N04/5759547342/)
(http://www.shotgunworld.com/bbs/view...f=118&t=257914)
where this man used a 12 gauge shell but took out the shotshell and shot and replaced it with a cut 16 gauge shell. Now im a machinist and i under stand the inside barrel and chamber are not smooth and the barrel is a smaller hole than the reamed out chamber. so in theory is the 16 gauge shell fit the barrel tolerance wouldn/t this be safe?
