Chamber Length

[David Hamilton]

There are some inexpensive steel plugs that are made in various bores that you can put in your chamber and measure the length. I can't remember , but I think I got them from Lyman or Mid-Way. David

Hi Vaughn,
It has been said that long shells in short chambers can increase recoil. Also as you indicated excessive DAH tends to hit you a little harder or so it seems. If you plan to shoot your gun much you may want to pick up some low pressure shells as it will increase your shooting pleaser and be gentler on the gun. I believe a smaller payload (3/4 oz/20 gage) in tightly chocked guns gives less recoil and better patterns.
