If only it were easier to modify factory-loaded shotshells to remove some of the powder and perhaps some of the pellets to reduce the pressure.
That would be worth the effort for vintage guns with open chokes in my opinion.
Whenever I have tried this in the past, the re-crimped cartridges look like sh!t...
...and the crimp concaves to the point where pimple-bulges in the second barrel are a risk.

I am going to revisit this though, now that I have the afore-mentioned Jeffery game gun with 2 3/4 chambers and cylinder-bored chokes.
But I'll probably restrict the experiment to #3 or #4 steel pellets for ducks.

Watch this space!
