Call the folks at PW they will make up a short size die to any specification you want. You can make adjustments to the die head to accommodate the shorter shell case length. There contact information is on their web site.

You can shoot 2 3/4 in 2 1/2 and I do.

Will give PW a call tomorrow. They list long dies same principal applies to short I guess. I can chuck one up and turn it down in no time too. Just wanted to see if there was any short shell PW experience out there.

I have to admit that I see no need to load 2 1/2" shells. I probably have a dozen or more light 16s that have thrived on light 2 3/4" loads for fifty years. Many of them have 2 1/2" chambers.
