I would call myself a seasoned shooter by any measure. Though I am less familiar with shotguns and shotgun ammo.... but I do have a working knowledge.
I'm quite familiar with what can happen with rifle and pistol ammunition with a projectile that has been pushed into the case.
This seemed to be a different situation to me. Very different. A cursory search on Google revealed that my observation was not an isolated one or unique. What I could not find was any information about potential adverse effects. A few said they fired without a problem. But I was hoping for a bit more "authoritative" info.
By contrast, there is PLENTY of info about the adverse effects of rifle and pistol projectile set-back in brass (metallic) cartridges.
I figured since this forum has a higher concentration of shotgun-istas that I might hear something constructive and factual rather than speculative.
@nitesite's post makes the most sense (so far). I'll stand by for anyone else to chime in with some good information.
