Check other shells for fit as suggested. I have a Scottish hammer gun that just didn't have enough head space to accommodate any shells I tried. I had Brad Bachelder increase the head space...and have lived happily ever after since. This was an old gun, BTW. I would guess your Scott has a year or two on it also. The shells of the time fit no doubt.
