Here is my collection of shotgun inserts.

For the record I have only tried the 9mm, 22lr and .38 out of the 357. All of which I was pleasantly surprised by. Obviously they have limitations and are only good to about 25 yards. I’ve been hesitant to try the higher pressure 45lc and 357. Does anyone have experience with this or can recommend a single shot capable of handling such high pressure?

So you just slide them into the barrel to rechamber your 12 gauge?

Pretty much, works best on break actions, not that 'best' is very good in this context

yeah, these ones are for a 20ga but that's the idea.

based on all the comments though it seems to not work that well

It is absolutely imperative to get the rifled inserts and at least 6 inches in length. The short line inserts that a lot of people are talking about are smoothbore and only 3 inches . I’ve tried them , they are horrible
