Here is a picture of a hang-tag from The Parker Story. The tag carries the odd line -- Length of Shell 2 5/8 Inches
and right below that Use Shells 2 3/4 Long.

I recall seeing a hang-tag that has a Chamber Length ____ Inches and a Use Shells ____ Long, but I couldn't find it right now.

In the book The Parker Story the Remington vintage specification sheets on pages 164 to 169 call for a chamber 1/8-inch shorter than the shell for which it is intended.
