Although evidence exists that Parker intended chambers to be shorter than a fired shell there is also evidence ammunition manufacturers disagreed with that practice and they provided warning labels to that effect.

Vintage Remington Express 3 3/4 dram, 1 1/4 ounce 2 3/4" paper shell, star crimp I believe with card glued on top.





"These shells must not be used in guns having damascus or twist steel barrels, or chambers shorter than 2 3/4 inches"

Warning on the left side said it is dangerous to place 12ga shells in 8 gauge guns..... can't recall seeing that warning before over the more usual 20ga in a 12ga warning.
