Default A question of pressure and length

The length first. I seem to be getting the idea that it is accecptable to use 2-3/4" shells in guns chambered for shorter shells. The shotguns in question a 16 and 12g. Trojan. Your thoughts on this.

Next, What would be considered a safe working pressure for those two guns?

I'm going to start reloading for both the 16 and 12 soon and want to start off on the right foot.

If I can use 2-3/4" hulls I can buy once fired, if I have or should use 2-1/2" hulls, so far I haven't found any once fired.

That leads to chamber pressure, knowing where I need to be will help figure out what I need for components.

I just spent about an hour looking through the Alliant powder reloaders guide. Alot of loads for the 12 but only about half dozen for the 16 and I really like 16g.

Thanks for your help in getting the new guy started.

Matt
