For your consideration, I've used 2 3/4" low pressure reloads (1200 fps or less) in all of my English 16s for years. With absolutely no problems. And... if you reference Sherman Bell's 2006 testing in DGJ of 2 3/4 shells v. 2 1/2 hulls, you'll see virtually no to very little pressure increase due to the 1/4" more hull length. Just use the same ammo you make for your other 16s. You'll be fine.
