I think you are O.K. your way. Galazan sells a nice shotgun gauge for chambers and choke that will not break the bank. Its folds up nice and small. I have 2 of them....Check their catalog. A true 2 1/2 chamber requires 2 1/2, 2 9/16 or 2 5/8 shell, 2 3/4 shell is just too long for that chamber length. I have 2 1/2" RST loads and some B&P F2 classic loads at 2 5/8" these will open up just inside the forcing cone with no ill effect. A 1oz load at 1200 FPS is about right for most 16-s The B&P loads are rated at 1280 and may a little hot for guns are much under 6lbs. SXS Ohio
