Yes—completely inert and safe when used properly.

❓ Do they work in all shotguns?

They work in most 20g shotguns, but feeding in some semi-auto magazine tubes may vary depending on design and tolerances.

Lifespan depends on usage; regular inspection is recommended as wear occurs over repeated cycles.
