Very true. That way if something goes wrong, you have no one to blame but yourself. At least you know what shells are being used and if you reloaded them, then you know who may have made the mistake.

Honing or lengthened chambers would be the likely cause at that location. I once owned a GHE 12 which developed a bulge in the chamber when I was using a set of chambermates in 28ga. The "o" ring on the insert failed and the pressure was essentially trapped within the chamber. I found out later that the previous owner had lengthened the chambers to 2.75". That was a long time ago, way before I knew anything about barrel modifications.
