shotgun harm by consecutive firing?

I'd only be concerned with getting the barrel too hot (when it starts getting too hot to touch, that's too hot) - everything else should handle fine.
 
Kinda' like a "hot barrel - high volume" Argentine dove hunt ?
At something approaching a flat of 250 shells/hour, I can tell you
that a Beretta 391 or Benelli SBE or Cordoba can handle that with no sweat.
The barrel WILL get VERY hot however, and you'll soon wear yourself out just stuffing shells into it !!!

Have a look at "Dove Hunting in Cordoba Argentina" in the Hunting Forum. I suspect that fellow probably was shooting
at or over the volume you asked about. Nice pics too !

It was a newer Browning gold fusion and there were 4 of us taking turns shooting at birds thrown from a Trius 1-step. We only had the 1 shotgun with us. Yep, the barrel got a bit toasty. Not a single FTF/FTE and the hulls ended up in a nice 4' circle about 7 feet away. Shot it wet with CLP of course. when I got home I could wipe the carbon off with a rag.

I'm trying to get my nephews in to trap shooting and I think I have them hooked.
