I shoot 2 7/8 in shells through my 2 5/8 inch 10 gauge with the step at the chambers end. I only use this gun for sporting clays and an occasional round of trap so I keep pressure and velocity low. I have not found any noticeable indication of excessive pressure or recoil when shooting 1 1/4 oz. at 1100 to 1150 fps. I have also found that I get a nice gas seal at the chambers end when using slower burning powders like PB or Green Dot in the 10 Ga. I also roll crimp the 2 7/8 inch shells, and after about 2-3 reloads I trim them to 2 5/8 inches and put them aside until I am able to find my preferred 10 gauge powder ( Red Dot or 700 X ). I load these a little hotter since they do not protrude past the step at the chambers end.
