The next shot would blow the end off the Cutts body. These type chokes fell from favor after the advent of fingered shot cup wads. The Poly Choke system prospered in this era until the screw in chokes appeared.
I have seen a few blown Poly's, but I believe most were blown by slugs or large buckshot being fired with the Poly cranked down to extra full.

I already have guns for sabot slugs .
I had a Model 12 that was made in the mid 50's . It's what was refferred to as a DeLuxe Field . Little better wood , checkering . Anyway when I got it the gun had a poly . I shot quite a few loads of Remington factory Hevi Shot 00 Buck using the full choke setting with no ill effects and very nice patterns out to about 40 yards .
To be honest I'd shoot this Remington 48 alot more except for the fact that it's an autoloader and 16 gauge hulls are kinda hard to come by . And it is a PITA to bend over and pick up hulls on the skeet and trap field !
