Bullet setback can occur from repeated re-chambering and can cause the round to over pressure when it is fired and possibly kaboom a weapon.
I rotate my rounds (chamber the next round down and then put the originally chamberd round a few down in the mag) when I clear a weapon so that they do not get re-chambered repeatedly.
No need to be paranoid but caution is warranted.
Another good habit is to shoot your carry weapon, with the ammo you are carrying, once a month. Then you know that ammo is gone and that the weapon is functioning properly.
I usually do this when I first arrive at the range then when I leave I reload my carry mags with my self defense ammo.

Ok I just reread your original post and realized you are talking about a shotgun.... My comments are regarding a pistol. Sorry for reading too fast too early!

Reason: Wrong Weapon System! Sorry
