Bruce has demonstrated this with pictures before. Win AA's are not 2 3/4". Put them next to an RST shell and they are just barely longer. This is not the case for all shells as Cheddite shells such as Herters are markedly longer than the AA's. Rem 20's are similar to the AA's, I dont know about Federals.
I shoot factory AA's and Rem thru my Parker 20 fluid steel 20's, but most of the time am shooting 3/4 oz AA reloads and they are really sweet to shoot. I cut down Herters 20's to 2 1/2" and have scaveged RST 20's, so lately have been loading them esp for my older damascus guns such as my Manton 20 hammer gun.
