Charlie, we hope to see you at Addieville. I have spoken to both Morris and Alex of RST Classic Shotshells and they do plan being at Addieville though probably not with a full truck as we are accustomed to seeing.
My 1898 Parker DH with Titanic Steel barrels (very possibly the same steel composition as used in Parker Special Steel and Vulcan Steel) has 2 5/8" chambers and I have shot thousands of rounds of 2 3/4" "off the shelf" ammo through those barrels with nary a problem.... same goes with my Damascus barrels fitted to the same gun. My DH is built on a 2-frame so the gun is pretty stout to begin with but with either set of barrels with 2 5/8" chambers in both sets of barrels it digests those loads without a single complaint.
