I shoot 2 1/2 inch shells in all my guns regardless of gauge, Damascus or fluid steel. Your gun is over 100 years old and even though the chamber length might take the 2 3/4 length shell why put the 100 year old wood through the recoil? I'm loading 7/8's and 3/4 oz loads in 16 and haven't seen a clay target or a bird properly hit ever notice the difference.
