My thoughts exactly. I'll pass.

I would not advise others on specific loads for that matter as a general rule,no loss that I can see. Personally, I would not show folks something like this anyway,you never know how it will be applied.
I have no way to measure pressures anyway, but I do know that folks shoot slugs in a full choke, the ammo/gun manufacturers know this will happen, not the same really as the slug does not have to deform as much as the shell is bigger, but the shell is more malleable.
As stated, we did it some, but not as a regular practice, but something to do if needed, that's why we were taught this.
BTW, we did it with a full choke,but admittedly without pressure gauges.
If someone is uncomfortable with it, they should not do it, I sure agree with that.
