Brenthern and Ladies, "God save me!"

[Joseph Roth]

In the 70's I shot trap with the VH,with reloads and new AA trap loads.

In August of 2021, I traveled to Larry Del Greco's shop, and the first thing asked after a lite inspection, he pointed out the two parallel cracks, in the top of the stock wrist, and said
you have shot a few more boxes of 2-3/4-inch shells, with the 2-5/8-inch chambers.

So, there is some damage.

So, it is better to lengthen chamber for proper case length.

[Bill Murphy]

Fifty years ago, the Del Gregos charged me about fifteen bucks a side to lengthen the chambers on my 28 VH to 2 3/4". Fifty years later, those chambers are 2 1/2" long. After many thousands of 2 3/4" shells fired, the stock is still uncracked.

I guarantee you didn’t do that damage with standard 2 3/4” shells in 2 5/8” chambers - those chambers were cut for 2 3/4” shells!
