Translation?
2 3/4" = 2 12/16ths, less 1/8th (2/16th) would mean that a 2 3/4" inch parker would have have a 2 10/16 chamber? Lots of our guns are 2 9/16ths. Given that the chamber is a slope, seems hard to believe that the 1/16th would be a great challenge. Are there brands of 2 3/4" which are typically safe in 2 9/16th chambers, if we stick to say 2 3/4 drams with 1oz of shot? I know lots of guns are unlikely to fail with much hotter loads per Sherman Bell, but are we wasting a lot of money and going to great trouble to get 2 1/2" shells for our 2 9/16th Inch chamber Parkers.
Obviously, this assumes tha a gunsmith has examined the gun and found it to be in proper and safe condition.
Anyone brave enough to hazard an opinion, or at least experience.
