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?

I've been toying with the idea of a .22 insert for my 12g backpacker 2. Any thoughts?

Chaszel makes a 11 and 18 inch rifled insert. They take some getting used to but you will be able to obtain short range accuracy with lots of practice. Of all my inserts the 22lr is the most accurate.

Any ammo recommendations?

The good thing about these tubes is s you can use any rimfire with no worries about cycling issues ( lol obviously) but some are better than others . I shoot a ton of Remington thunderbolt , it’s not great but it’s cheap . if you want to be more serious with accuracy CCI standard velocity seems to work the best of what I’ve tried. I’ve successfully harvested rabbit with CCI SGB also so I’d say they are pretty good. I just have to stress that this is always within 25 yards. These inserts are going to start sucking pretty bad at anything past that no matter the ammo
