Quoted: as others have said, it was supposed to help prevent "barrel burst", IE dropping a 20 gauge round down the barrel, followed by the discharge of a 12 gauge shell....... |
HMMM did you watch the same show as me last night
Aparently their were so many people droping 20ga rnds in a 12 then folowing it with a 12 and blowing up their guns that the ammo manufacturers came up with 20ga being yellow only......
I've got red green black 12's and have had blue and purple before. I know i've seen several diffrent colors of 410. I think 20 is the only rnd with a dedicated color.
Btw on the show they droped a 20 in a beneli (sp) folowed by a 12 slug and fired it then did it again with a 20 followed by 00 buck and it held up to it....... i wouldn't try it but i saw it on tv
. The guys doing the show said they had seen lesser guns kersplode....
