The order for Hedderly's 20-gauge A1 Special states clearly "Chamber 2 3/8" which would be for 2 1/2 inch shells. His earlier order for his DHE-Grade 20-gauge states "Chamber 2 1/2 cases."

The order for Hedderly's 16-gauge A1 Special states clearly "Chamber 2 7/16" which would be for 2 9/16 inch shells.
