The guys thinking a steady diet of buckshot loads, run through a full choke gun is good form, might be in for a surprise when they notice ring bulges.
Big shot makes big bridges. I might not worry about one in a model 12, but, I wouldn't want one or two in a double.

I have seen a awful lot of big buckshot go through full chokes. This was one of the last havens of dog hunting deer in Georgia, and though it is virtually gone now for ages full choked 12 ga. guns were the overwhelming choice for deer and hogs. They may not have always patterned the best, but those old boys weren't hearing anything else. In the dozens of guns I was associated with not one ever had a ring bulge. These were everything you could imagine from single barrel hammer guns to doubles to pumps to autoloader. 90% of the loads were 00 buck. Scores of years should have caused at least one, wouldn't you think?
