Invite to go turkey hunting ....RST out of Nice Shot...Copper?

[Bill Murphy]

If I wanted to go the cheap way, I would shoot steel 12 gauge shells out of a Parker 10 gauge with chamber inserts.

That would be nice but is it really safe for the barrels? I've read a few things regarding chamber inserts. (If it's on the internet it must be true, right?)

Up to 8 gauges down will pattern better because it shortens the shot string by allowing the shot to spread out in the barrel. This still allows the choke to constrict the pattern, or rather, bunch up the shot. People on other forums say that this could cause the steel shot to bulge the barrel as it passes through the choke. True or false?

That's what they say..... True or false?.... Who knows for sure? I don't, but I tend to err on the side of caution.
