Accidentally loading 20 ga. shells into 12 ga. guns.

[DonaldBabbett]

What's the strategy YOU use to prevent this?

You might own:

1. a 12 ga. for ducks and/or a police pump for home defense
2. a 20 ga. for doves

I definitely wouldn't carry both a 12 and a 20 on the same hunt:

I would only carry a 20 ga. gun on dove, pheasant and grouse hunts and only a 12 ga. on duck hunts.

If your that lame or accident prone stay home. I carry both in vehicle. Never had an issue. I hunt doves and ducks in same day. Sometimes quail as well..

It can certainly happen, but believe the color coding of shells helps greatly to avoid mistakes.

I you think you'll have issues, the you likely need to sell one of them with all ammunition IMHO.

I believe that was a voluntary action by mfrs, most modern 20GA is yellow. I still have a ton of multi colored 20GA.

Keep your head out of your ***, and you'll be fine.

What does an A300 have to do with a 20g?

An A300 make you smarter

Look at a 20g and 12g shell. There is a big difference between the two. In nearly 50 years of shooting shotguns of different gauge, I've never had that problem. Know the difference.

Common sense.

C'mon! This type of logic is a bannable offense.

Some people should probably just play golf instead ....

It's still pretty important to know the difference between the clubs.

I don't worry about it because neither one fits in my flintlock.
