I had a set of the gaugemate golds I think they were called that went from 10 ga to 16 gauge . My Bonehill didnt like them all that much ,perhaps the chambers were a bit oversized . But the rubber o rings broke after not even 1 box of shells and they were suppose to work with the extractors which they never did . The recoil was a bit more with the 16 ga shells but thats probably because they were 300fps or so faster than the 10 ga rst shells .
The 12 gauge through the 8 gauge bore reminds me of Mossbergs overbored barrels on their 835 that have the bore dimensions of a 10 gauge or so im told .
