| The answer is a guarded "probably". Your Trojan should have 2 5/8 or 2 9/16 chambers and while it will accept 2 3/4 ammo felt recoil will be less for both you and the gun if you use 2 1/2" ammo. Make sure the gun, barrels, bores are all in good shape before shooting it.

James,
I would shoot them, but that's me. I shoot factory 2 3/4 shells through a Damascus 16 gauge though not often mind you. Your Trojan was built to shoot and is one stout shotgun if still in good shape. You can find 2 1/2" shells at http://www.rstshells.com .
Kindest, Harry

| I would not hesitate to shoot the shell you describe in a Trojan in good condition. I have 10 16g guns and have often shot light 2 3/4" shells in all of them. I prefer 2 1/2" Gamebore or RSTs but there you have it...

| Yup, as Don says, those shells are fine for a Trojan 16 with chambers as the factory drilled them. Don't give them away to anyone. They should be shot in your gun.
