Re: shooting 9 mm rimfire from a 16 ga

I've got some shotshells in 9mm (CCI #12 shot) and 357mag (CCI #9 shot) but I haven't tried them yet.
I have tried Winchester 22LR ratshot (#12 shot) on close-up targets (maybe 6ft away) and the spread was quite large, as expected from a rifled barrel. The target was a ply backing board and a few pellets actually bounced off and hit me in the ankle - ouch, but no penetration luckily.
I've got a couple of 12guage adapters - one in 22LR and one in 357mag. It'll be interesting to try the shotshells in them but I'll need to buy a shotgun first.

had similar experience with ratshot myself when the father in law got rid of a slithery pest in his old shed - yes they bounce back everywhere!
As to your adapters where did you get those from?
Interesting concepts using those.
I got mine from Oz Gun Mart a while ago - looks like they have a variety in stock again:

I also bought a 30/06 chamber adapter in 32 S&W Long from them but I haven't seen them in stock for a while. It shoots great at 50 yards:

The patched holes were S&B 100gn RN and unpatched S&B 100gn WC. The rifle was a Columbian Mauser carbine with the handguard removed so a red dot could be fitted on a scout scope mount for testing purposes
