Jay, The reason I am asking this question is that I am considering purchasing a lifter which is in better condition than mine and including it in the gun case I made for my 2 5/8" lifter. The new gun has the same stock dimensions so I wouldn't need to modify the case. The gun I am considering has 2 7/8" chambers but I made the case to accommodate 2 5/8" brass shells. If there is a problem with shooting the 2 5/8" shells with nitro loads in the new gun, I will pass on this idea. Discharging a shell 1/4" behind the step at the end of the chamber is sort of like having a choke with a step instead of a taper. I just don't know if since it is only 1/4" does it even matter.
