9x19 in 7,63x25 chamber

Ron,
I believe the "20 in 12" blow up is caused by careless hunters carrying 20ga. and 12ga. shot shells mixed together. When you drop a 20ga. into a 12ga. gun, it won't fire but it drops to the forward end of the chamber. Upon the failure to fire, the hapless hunter then loads a correct 12ga. shell in on top of the 20ga. resulting in the hand grenade effect the next time he pulls the trigger. This of course happens when 2 1/2" shells are being used in a gun chambered for 3" shells.
