Default 1883 stepped 2 5/8 chamber

This gun has a bore measurement of .753 and a chamber that has no taper in a forcing cone. Have shot 2 3/4 shells with no noticable effect. Decided maybe 2 5/8 would be in order. I then got to thinking that with an oversized bore like this maybe 2 3/4 inch would be better. The crimp would overlap the step and make a nice transition into the bore. With the wad about .730 it seems to make sense to me. What do you guys think.
