It should go in fine. Most owners of 2 1/2" chambered Parker 28s do, in fact, use standard 2 3/4" 3/4 ounce loads in them. If you have the facilities or the inclination, you may choose to load or buy shorter or more lightly loaded shells, but it should not be neccesary. There is a problem with very early 28 gauge Parkers not accepting modern shells because of the actual diameter or the rim, but not because the length of the shell. We will assume that you will not have the rim diameter problem since your gun is not particularly early.
