Title provides caution / NOT pleasant.
A friend sent this to me.. The OU shotgun blew out the side of bottom barrel and caused severe damage to shooters hand. No one can confirm exact cause but it was not a hand loaded shell. They think he chambered by mistake a 20 ga shell and then the correct gauge shell 12.. The 20 slid down the bbl until the rim interfaced with the beginning of the forcing cone and stopped. Thus blockage and result.
