1876? Guns of that time were most likely chambered for brass cases. If so, the chamber stops abruptly (no forcing cone) at about 2&5/8" for tens and twelves and goes to bore diameter. For that the short shell is in order.

I have solved this dilemma by only using 2 1/2 in shells in everything. I can break any clay target and kill any gamebird with the proper shot size. No worries on chamber length, pressures or excessive wear and tear on a 100+ year old gun.
