Thank you

no one can answer that without inspecting the gun

and FPS is only one factor, what weight is the shot load - a heavy load or a light one? Pressure? chamber length?

http://www.hodgdonreloading.com/data/shotgun has many bismuth loads for 16 at that speed or greater- pressures vary

Thank you
It's the Kent 25 count box of one once 2 3/4 bismuth that's just common everywhere. Where could I find the results for the pressure for that load?

My bore was lengthened to shoot 2 3/4
