From memory Remington 27 yard trap load. Gold hull . I bought two boxes for the hulls , Shot them in my O/U. Butt kicking load.
I found primer seating less than optimal using Win 209s. Never found a good supply of Remington primers to try The Winchester’s seat but have a tendency to leave a high primer in the Remington hull 5 - 10 % High primer in a loaded shell is a problem. Not safe to push in deeper with a loaded shell. AAs have never had this issue. Gave up on the nitro 27s Anybody have cures let me know. Useful to have some different color hulls to segregate certain loads. William. |

Mr. Graham:
If fooling with 2 1/2" shells makes you happy, fine. However, I've fired many thousands of reloaded 2 3/4" cartridges with 3/4 oz. of shot in all my 2 1/2" guns with no ill effects whatsoever. On average, pressures only increase about 50 psi or less. But don't take my word for it. Sherman Bell tested it all for Double Gun Journal years ago and found that it's not worth the worry. |

I don’t cut 2 3/4 inch hulls down for my Parker’s either.

Nitro's are like STS"s, both a premium shell with smooth sides, one green and the other gold and with brass bases. As Kensal said there's not really a need to shorten them unless you like 2 1/2" shells. William, I reloaded Nitro's for years with Win and Cheddite primers and never had a problem with primers sticking out. Still have a hundred or so mixed in with my other Remington shells and they all reload the same. Remington 28ga hulls gave me a problem till I ran a drill through the primer hole to remove the plastic. Both 12 and 20 where kind of worry free for primer seating.

I haven’t had primer seating issues either, and am not generally fearful of 2 3/4” in 2 1/2” guns. However, since there are British guns in the mix with 2 1/2” chambers, it might be appropriate to have a 2 1/2” solution available. Probably doesn’t matter there either, but learning new solutions is a good thing.

None of the 26 British guns I have in the gunroom with 2 1/2" chambers seem to mind 2 3/4" cartridges. And haven't for decades.

I have problems with all Remington hulls and primers not seating flush no matter the gauge whether using Remington or Winchester primers. These are once fired hulls and using MEC reloaders. After the 1st or 2nd reloads the primers seat flush and yes, the primer seating station is adjusted properly. Never have the same problem with Winchester or Federal hulls.
