No, to get an accurate reading it should be done with a chamber gauge--any gunsmith could measure them for you. If your SCC is NIB, do you still have the box? If so, is the chamber length marked on the end cap label?
Dave,
Were the chambers on your SCC measured using a chamber gauge?
I too, have a copy of the article that I believe you're talking about on the "Parker Reproduction 12-gauge Magnum", I don't believe the writer ever specifically called them "Steel Shot Specials". (I'm at work and don't have it in front of me, so I'm commenting here with a foggy memory). The article says the barrels of these guns were 12% heavier than the norm, but also states, (I think--I'll have to reread it again when I get home) the bore diameters at either .732 and/or .733 of their test gun--which of course differs from the .740 bores reported the SSS's have by the authors of TPS.
