2 5/8 chamber and hunting

[Bill Murphy]

Any gun with short chambers is probably 80 years old or older and has also probably digested thousands of 2 3/4" shells without damage. Research has shown that the load in the shell has more to do with any possible damage to the gun than the length of the hull. Added pressure caused by the shell extending into the forcing cone is very minimal as long as the load approximates the original load the gun was intended to shoot.
