What do you wish you had known about Shotguns

[shrapmetal]

they showed us a thing in hunters ed that has left an impression on me. they put a 20ga shell in a 12ga. and cycled it. it thru the shell half way down the barrel and it got stuck there. if they would have thought it was a missfire and cycled in a 12ga shell behind it, it would have fire into the 20ga shell that was lodged in the barrel. it showed us the importance of using and carrying the correct ammo.

Yep, I went over that one, that's a pretty common shotgun blow-up problem.
Why you have to be careful when hunting/shooting with friends with different guns.
