Actually, you have asked a question which has been examined in length on this forum and there are things you might like to think about. You can get 2 5/8 shells in brass from Rocky Mountain Brass. They will fit your gun. Many people shoot 2 3/4"shells in 2 5/8" guns and have been doing so for decades. There is a theory that Parker made 2 5/8" chambers to be used with 2 3/4" shells to get a better seal at the chamber mouth. There is also the fact that modern plastic shells are thinner and more, well, plastic than paper and that there is no rise in pressure from using the longer shell. And... well, I could go on. Low pressure loads is the only caviat David
