Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if you load a shotgun shell backwards?

Loading a 12-gauge shotgun shell backwards into a pump-action shotgun will cause it to jam in the receiver. This prevents the action from closing or cycling properly, requiring manual removal of the stuck shell.

How do you properly load a 12-gauge shotgun shell?

A 12-gauge shotgun shell should be loaded with the projectile end (the bullet or shot) facing forward into the chamber. The base of the shell should be oriented towards the rear of the firearm.

Can a backwards shotgun shell damage the firearm?

While a backwards shell typically jams the action, it's unlikely to cause permanent damage to a robust pump-action shotgun. However, forcing the action could potentially bend components or damage the shell rim.
