Not significantly.

Parker's chambers were generally cut 1/8" shorter than the length of the shell recommended for use in them. This 1/8" provided for a better gas seal when the paper shell opened into the cone rather than stopping exactly at the shoulder of the cone.
You might expect a pressure rise of approximately 100 p.s.i. due to this design.

Again, not significant.
