3/4" short shots

[Dean Romig]

You can make those kinds of low pressure light loads with 2 1/2” shells. What advantage do you hope to gain by using a shell 3/4” shorter than those which the gun was made for?

Other than experimenting with a novelty, none. I'd also like to make some 2", 2 1/2's.

Would using shorter shells in the 2 5/8"-2 3/4" chambers be detrimental or dangerous in any way?
The shorter shell idea is just a novelty to me. My real intent is to reload low pressure rounds [below 1100].

There is a theoretical concern about the wad (assuming the Aguila shell has a wad) "tipping" in the gap between the shell mouth and the forcing cone.
I would definitely look down the barrels after each shot, and we all should do so no matter the shell.
