It depends on the gauge and length of the shell, but common 12 gauge shells have between 25-45 grains of powder in.That range is determined by the wt. of shot/slug and the speed you want to shoot.In other word do you want to shoot trap at 1100 with 7/8Oz. shot or a goose upward of 1300fps with 1 1/4 Oz of shot.
The old joke was "Only once". Seriously, NO. EVEN IF THE UNFIRED SHELL FITS. A shotshell opens out LONGER when fired. There must be room for the end of the shell to open, or extremely high pressures will occur.
The 20-gauge shell will fall into the barrel and lodge. When a properly fitting 12-gauge shell is chambered and fired, it will blow up the barrel and you will have a very bad day.
NO!!! A 12 gauge shotgun takes only 12 gauge shells. A 20 gauge shell would fall into the barrel and get stuck about half way to the muzzle. You would be in for a nasty surprise when you put a 12 gauge shell behind it and pulled the trigger!!!
There is no propellant in the shell, the projectile is powered entirely by the primer. You can take one apart and see for yourself.
It depends on the shell you fire.
12 guage shell?
No one answer. That depends on the load and the powder used. Please understand that as used in that sentence, grain refers to a unit of weight, and not the individual grains of powder. Typical charge weights can vary from 17-35 grains.
