I’ve got a Remington smooth bore that’s made specifically from them and never have any problems. I also wonder if the cases are just a little bit different sized.

Worked great for that. Can't think of much else it would be good for. As for ejecting, we have the same problem in an old 22 single shot bolt gun that for 50 years plus has only shot shorts. Put a LR in it and it won't extract it. My guess is there is a carbon ring where the shorter casing ends. Same with longer bird shot brass? Easy to vote your way into socialism, but impossible to vote your way out of it.

I have an old POS 22 single shot that is now a dedicated 22 rat shot gun. I have nothing clever to put here.

Yeah, maybe burning my cousin Birdie in the backside, as kids. Useless gimmick, at best.
