Imminent Purchase of Gaugemate 12-20Archived Message

1905 12 gauge Field Grade.... after reading the responses to my initial inquiry, I'm planning to order a set of Gaugemate Gold 12-20 inserts and am curious to know if I could shoot about all 20 gauge loads in my 12? I assume the stainless steel insert adds wall strength to the barrels and, since the 20 gauge is a lighter load than the 12, it makes sense to me that I don't need to worry about barrel integrity with the inserts. I have two goals: one is to use 20 gauge shells which are much more readily available than 12s and to reduce recoil to my gun and shoulder. Any thoughts?? Hope everyone has had as good a Christmas as my family and me. Under the tree this year was a copy of the Brophy book, a wonderful surprise from my wife.
