The British have a 3" 10 gauge with a maximum working pressure of 3 1/2 tonnes or roughly 10500 PSI.

All but very late and rare 3 1/2" magnum Parkers we either 2 7/8" or 2 5/8" found in early guns. It is always best to measure the chamber length.

Remember, Parker Bros. cut the chambers 1/8" shorter than the shells to be used for a better gas seal.
I don't believe that is true for the 10ga. All chambers I have measured have been 2 7/8" and square shoulders.

put a sheet rock screw in the center bottom of dowel and you can fine tune the cut by screwing in or out from 2 5/8ths 10 ga to 2 7/8ths 10 ga

Scott is right, the screw is must, it allows one to quickly adjust the depth for various hulls, new Federal vs. old Federal, Remmington, Winchester etc. They are all different and the cutter must be adjusted to hit the same desired length with each hull type.

TEN GA SHELL LENGTH

The photo shows two unfired, paper 10 ga shells, one a UMC, the other a USCC. Both measure slightly less than 2 7/8 inch overall length. I also have some brass ten ga of similar vintage that measure 2 5/8 overall length. The 2 5/8 brass and 2 7/8 paper cases have the same capacity.

Best, Austin
