good thing I learned about looking down the barrel after a shot....I ve had several base wads come loose in my 8 ga parker and lodge 2/3 rds down the barrel...had a 10 ga Ithaca magnum the brass was thrown out but the plastic hung up in the barrel and another shell would not load all the way....then when I hunted squirls on a rainey day my paper hull shells a 12 ga they would shoot but I noticed I got to were I could not hit any thing....lhappen to look down and seen the brass end of the shell but no paper...them shells were so wet and soaked they would shoot but they were just like cut shells or ringed shells...I guess I was lucky I was shooting a imp..cly barrel in amodel 11 Remington... while dove hunting or fast shooting a person will not usally look down the barrel after every shot esp.if its a pump or auto...charlie
