Dean, the frame size is #1 and my gauge measures the chambers at 2 1/2. but I will re check.

re-checked and I'd say 2 9/16

I would shoot light 2 3/4" shells in that gun.

I wouldn't trust my opinion any farther than I would throw it, but I have a 30" Trojan (#2 frame) with 2.5" chambers choked F/M and it seems to love AA Trap loads. It's been my limited experience that if you're really pushing the pressure, it will be obvious in the recoil. My 2.5" 16 gauge Trojan (#1 frame) will hurt you shooting 2.75 field loads. It'll knock the forend right off'n the gun!
