Anyone ever use Federal Shorty Shotshells?

[Drew Hause]

This data is a few years old but likely close

Aguila 12ga MINISHELL 1 3/4” 5/8 oz. shot 1,175 fps; 11,000 psi
Federal 12g SHORTY 1 3/4” 15/16 oz. shot 1,145 fps; 9,500 psi

Dave: why are you using 2 1/2" shells in a 12g Parker? Are the chambers not 2 5/8"?

You know, I'm not 100% sure. I thought I had heard it was likely chambered for 2- & 1/2-inch shells, but there really aren't any chambers like modern day firearms. I guess I thought you could use shorter shells. Where do you get
2-5/8 shells?
