[QUOTE="KurtM, post: 862861, member: 6064"] Yes they can, yes they do. Now keep in mind that is the crimped end that "swells" and not the whole shell. The ends start looking like mushroom and can and will effect feeding. I have only seen this in vertical mounted shotguns stored in a vehicle a la/ L.E. crusiers that are subjected to hot and cold and vibration, and left loaded for extended time periods...just like that S.G. in a crusier.I had one department show up for a shotgun class and a good half had swelled ammo, when asked how long they had been loaded they had no idea as they really didn't have a shotgun qual program. I have never seen this in a shotgun stored in the home loaded, although I sure could see them distorting IF the mag spring was real stout. [/QUOTE]
