Thank Dary. I don't have the gun, and my question is self-serving. On another site a guy asked if he could shoot 1-1/8oz Remington Express loads at turkeys out of his 1935 Trojan; he says a 2-3/4" shell drops right in but didn't say if he'd measured the chambers. I said I've shot many boxes of 2-3/4" shells through my 1926 16ga Trojan, both 1oz and some 1-1/8oz. I do try to stay under 1200fps. Those Remy Express loads list at 1295, a little stiffer than I'd prefer, but I said I doubted shooting a few would hurt anything. I was definitely a minority of one, and was chastised for using anything but 2-1/2" shells !
