Here you go Rick.

No. 9 – 2.13 tons = 6,040 psi (converted by Burrard’s formula) No. 10 – 3.03 = 9,060 psi No. 11 – 3.22 = 9,700 psi No. 12 – 3.71 = 11,345 psi “When long cases are used in short chambers, the paper overlaps the cone and causes greater resistance to passage of the shot and wads. The pressure then goes up considerably, while muzzle velocity and recoil are both increased.” We all understand the studies used (thick) paper cases; not modern plastic cases and polyethylene wads

Why hasn't anyone brought up reason of only 1/2" forcing cones was because the fiber wads were only about 5/8" - 1/8" OP card and 1/2" cushion wad. With a 1/2" forcing cone the pressure was contained with less blow by. Maybe the over lap also helped seal things along with a slight pressure spike.

Paul: starting on p.238 Mr. Griffith reported on loadings with various wads; soft vs. hard; thick vs. thin

OTOH, and I have no idea what Bro. Bruette is saying
Dr. William A. Bruette, Guncraft: Guns, Ammunition, Wing & Trap Shooting, 1912 (Editor of Forest & Stream) https://books.google.com/books?id=5g51K93as84C&dq “Cause of Bad Patterns” https://books.google.com/books?id=5g...4C&pg=PA100&dq The most general cause of bad patterns is tightness at the nose of the chamber, whereby the exit of the charge is impeded, and the pressure of the powder is accordingly increased. When the chamber is right and the shooting is bad the next thing to examine is the form of the cone joining the chamber to the 12-bore part of the barrel. This should be of not greater length than .25 of an inch, and the slope should be a true taper from the nose of the chamber to the barrel. When the cone is excessively long the column of shot is apt to widen so as to occupy the greater diameter beyond the cartridge. Its subsequent compression to the diameter of the bore jams the pellets together, so causing a tendency to ball, or at any rate to deform them so as to interfere with their regular flight after leaving the muzzle.

Hmmm... Seems we’ve read the same thing about chokes going abruptly from the 12 bore barrel to the cone of the choke and that’s why Parker’s chokes are cut ogee (ogive). .

In the “newer” guns, I use 2 3/4 in shells and have had zero problems. I simply keep them to 2 3/4 dram equivalent. In the lifter, I use the incredibly light AA low noise, low recoil loads. All seem to work well for me.
