But ya really don't wanna. Not real sure the soft lead shot will damage the threads but might as it is traveling fast. Will no doubt get some lead in the threads making it harder to screw the insert in and out later and it will also blow the pattern pretty badly which is the number one reason not to do it I think. Now iffen it is fer snakes up close and personal then it might open the pattern a bit for easier kills.Accuracy?
I have a 14" 45-410 barrel for my Contender and have not had much problem with accuracy. I'm just shooting bulk ammo with cast bullets, 300g I think. I've never tried to measure any groups with it, but it dose well on cans and sticks of 2x2 pine at 20 to 30 yards with just the factory bead and plastic rear sight. It also works for picking quarters out of the air. Although I do miss some so maybe it is the barrels fault (lol).
I would say this is the most fun barrel I have. It's great for hunting and a pleasure for plinking.
