With sufficient wall thickness in our pattern welded guns, we shoot standard target loads at clays and game. At The Southern I shot my grade 2 top-lever 12g Damascus gun in multiple events and used 1 oz and 1 1/8 oz shells at 1200 FPS and less. No issues. This gun has 2 5/8" chambers.
I only have one gun with "short" chambers that were made for 2 9/16" shells and that's a 16g with pattern barrels.
