Count me in - DH 10, Damascus, 1891. It's my constant companion every Spring for quite a few years now.

This old Parker has 2&5/8" chambers. I have 10 RMC cases for it. The bird was dropped at about 30 yards with an ounce and a half of #4s pushed by an equal measure of FFg.

Les, I've purchased 3 1/2" new Remington 10's (Empties) and had them trimmed to 2 7/8". Ballistic Products, or Precision Reloading (?) carry them. Hope this helps. Mark

2 7/8" was the chamber length for 3" shells.
Remember, Parker Bros. cut the chambers 1/8" shorter than the shells to be used for a better gas seal.

The British have a 3" 10 gauge with a maximum working pressure of 3 1/2 tonnes or roughly 10500 PSI.

All but very late and rare 3 1/2" magnum Parkers we either 2 7/8" or 2 5/8" found in early guns. It is always best to measure the chamber length.
