The 20-gauge shell will fall into the barrel and lodge. When a properly fitting 12-gauge shell is chambered and fired, it will blow up the barrel and you will have a very bad day.

Depends on the gauge of the shell. The smaller the number, the bigger the shell. A 12 g shell is ABOUT 3/4 of an inch in diameter.
A 12-gauge shotgun shell typically contains multiple pellets, which are small, round projectiles inside the shell. The number of pellets in a 12-gauge 3" shell can vary depending on the specific type of shot being used, such as birdshot or buckshot. As a general guideline, a standard 12-gauge 3" shell with birdshot may contain around 1-1/8 to 1-1/4 ounces of shot, which can translate to roughly 200 to 300 pellets. For buckshot, there are typically fewer but larger pellets, with a 12-gauge 3" shell commonly holding around 8 to 15 pellets.
The best shotgun shell for shooting ducks is a 3 to 3 1/2 inch 12 gauge with number 2 shot.
It depends on the gauge and length of the shell, but common 12 gauge shells have between 25-45 grains of powder in.That range is determined by the wt. of shot/slug and the speed you want to shoot.In other word do you want to shoot trap at 1100 with 7/8Oz. shot or a goose upward of 1300fps with 1 1/4 Oz of shot.
Depends on the size of the shot, whether the shot is lead, steel or something else, the weight of the load and the gauge of the shell. A lead 1 oz load of #6 birdshot is about 225 pellets.
OO Buck contains nine .32 sized lead balls.
2 3/4" #8 or 9 shot target loads. 1 or 1 1/8 0z. of shot.
yes 2 3/4 shell will work in a shotgun chambered for 3in as long as they are of the same gauge
It depends on what kind of shot/cartridge you use. Shot, being the pelllets inside the cartridge, come in many different sizes, from 1mm to 9mm.
