Default Chamber Length

Have a question about length of shells. Have one Parker 12 which per letter is chambered 2 5/8 and a pre war Sauer per gunsmith measures 2 1/2 chamber. Both are in good shape with non damascus barrels and have been checked out by gunsmith to be in safe shooting condition.......Are these o.k. to shoot with 2 3/4 low brass.....? Have been told they are so long as round will chamber easily.....What say ye? As a general proposition is this right.....i.e. if its "modern steel" barrel in good condition per gunsmith inspection....it is o.k. to shoot low brass loads............Thanks Pat....p.s. both do chamber std 2 3/4 easily.
