Default Short shells

My Parker 10ga lifter has 2 5/8" chambers. I put a 1/4" spacer under Mecs spacer to load the shells. Then I tried a 2" shell by putting a 3/4" dowel rod about 3/4" high under the shell when crimping . So don't throw away any shells because the end gets bad - just shorten them and keep on reloading. My granddaughter who also shoots with me said 'you could go all the way down to the high brass '. Don't know about that, but I can keep on useing those hulls. Paul
