You should always use the intended ammunition in your firearms. If you are unsure about what ammunition the weapon is constructed to use contact the manufacturer or seek help from a professional gunsmith. In a shotgun it is less dangerous to use a shell that is shorter than a shell that is longer than the intended length of the ammunition but it may still pose a risk.
What else can I help you with?
Can you use a 20 amp fuse for a 15 amp surge protector safely?
No. If you use a larger fuse you are not protecting the device which has a rating of a lesser value.
Can you use 3 inch shell in 2and three quarter inch chamber?
The answer is ABSOLUTELY NOT ADVISED. The shotgun "chamber" is the length of a breech section of larger diameter that accomodates the wall thickness of the shell (to provide a smooth transition from the interior of the expanded shell to the barrel of the gun). Although the unfired longer shell can be loaded in the shorter chamber, the crimp cannot fully open when fired... it will be pinched in the narrower barrel diameter in front of the chamber. That causes increased gas pressures during firing and could possibly damage the gun. (Newer guns should handle this slight overpressure safely but you may feel a slight increase in recoil.) You can, however, go the other way around and safely use shells shorter than the guns chamber (eg a 12 gauge can safely use 2 3/4 inch shells in 3 inch chambers). There is some debate about the effect of this mismatch on shot pattern. Some credible long standing studies actually indicating a more uniform shot pattern from using shorter shells in longer chambers.

What is 556 caliber?
The 5.56x45 cartridge is dimensionally similar to a .223 Remington. However, the two are not the same. A 5.56 chamber can safely fire .223 rounds, but a dedicated .223 chamber can't necessarily fire 5.56 cartridges safely, given the different angle of the cartridge neck, and the higher chamber pressures generated by the 5.56 cartridge over the commercial .223 round.
Can you safely fire 3'' shells in a Mirouku BC Charles Daly Model 500 double barrel 20 gauge that has no markings in reference to shell length?
It should be marked on the underside of the barrel set. All else fails, have a gunsmith measure the chamber length. Takes less than 5 minutes. sales@countrygunsmith.net
Can you safely and accuretly firer a 308 out of a 30 06?
No, you cannot safely or accurately fire a .308 cartridge out of a .30-06 rifle. The .30-06 has a larger case and a different chamber design, which can lead to dangerous situations, including potential damage to the firearm or injury to the shooter. Always use the correct ammunition specified for your firearm to ensure safety and proper function.
Is 223 and 556 ammunition the same?
No. They have matching dimensions, but differ in other areas, such as neck angles. .223 ammunition can be safely fired in a 5.56x45mm chamber; 5.56x45 ammunition is not recommended to be used in a .223 Remington chamber.
My rigarmi brescia has a bullet in the chamber and its jammed with the fire pin out of it what can i do?
If your Rigarmi Brescia has a bullet in the chamber and is jammed with the firing pin out, it's crucial to handle the situation safely. First, ensure the firearm is pointed in a safe direction, then try to carefully remove the magazine and clear the chamber by manually cycling the slide. If that doesn't work, consider using a cleaning rod or similar tool to gently push the bullet back into the chamber. If you're unsure or unable to clear the jam safely, contact a qualified gunsmith for assistance.
Can 5.56 x 45 and 223 ammo be interchanged?
.223 Remington ammo can be safely cycled through a 5.56x45 chamber - 5.56x45 ammo should not be cycled through a .223 Remington chamber. Both types may be cycled through a .223 Wylde chamber, but .223 Wylde may only be cycled through a .223 Wylde chamber.
What is the difference between anchorage length and development length?
Anchorage length is the required distance to transfer a load and is dependent on the materials used. Development length is the length of the reinforcement bar or rod required to transfer the load safely to another bar.
What is the recommended length and type of extension cord to safely use with a hot tub?
The recommended length for an extension cord to safely use with a hot tub is 25 feet or less, and it should be a heavy-duty, outdoor-rated cord with a grounded plug.
What is the difference between .223 cal and 5.56 mm?
The 5.56 cartridge has a different neck angle from the .223 Remington, generates higher chamber pressures, and has different weight projectiles available. .223 Remington can be safely cycled through a rifle with a 5.56 chamber, but it is not recommended to use 5.56 ammo in a rifle with a .223 chamber.
