Back in the sixties gunwriter/engineer G. T. Thomas was worried about this same thing. He ran tests, firing 2.5" and 2.75" shells in 2.5" chambers, measuring pressure 1" and 6" from the breech. His conclusion was that the differences were negligible, and just eyeballing his data, the difference appears to be significantly under 5%.
