Hi guys, pardon me but when you say "short ten" are you referring to barrel length or shell length?

My Parkers have a 2 7/8 inch chamber, which receives what we call “short ten” (2 7/8 inch) shells. If you are looking at a 10 gauge with the more modern 3 1/2 inch chamber, then I have no SxS experience to share. My Browning Gold autoloader softens the blow of those monster shells, but I would think a modern 3 1/2 shell out of a SxS would be pretty jarring. The short ten is so perfect that I have not messed with the modern 3 1/2 inch ten gauge shells in quite a while.
