As chambers are lengthened the wall thickness at the juncture of the chamber and forcing cone becomes an issue of primary concern because as the chamber is lengthened you encroach on the tapered or sloped exterrior of the barrel.

I crossed this bridge years ago with an old 2 1/2" chambered H&H SLE, that I purchased from Briley's, btw. They said it would not be advisable to lengthen the chambers, but the shoulders could be tapered from the forcing cone to the bore.
So, that is what we did.
