Shell Question
 

I have a friend who offered me Game Bore shells from England
He says they are 67 MM per whats written on the box
I assume they are ok to shoot out of a 16 gauge 2 1/2” ?
The date on the box is 2/6/99 I assume that doesn’t matter
By the cross match 67MM is 2 41/64”
He seems to think its fine
That bothers me don’t want to hurt a Parker
He says the box also says Felt wad?
He says they measure 2 1/4" maybe 2 3/8"



Any thoughts?

Thanks Mark

is that the length of a loaded or fired hull? open hulls determine the size.

and are you sure your chambers are 2 1/2? I could be wrong (just ask my wife) but I think early 16's were 2 9/16

Felt wads a fine - might be a little more open pattern over a plastic cup

Yes 2 1/2” measured them yesterday
Yes that a loaded shell its on the box by what i am told

You should be fine.
