Not concerned about the barrels. I have shot a lot of trap and skeet with this gun as well as Dove.

I usually get RST 2.5s for my parkers, but by all reports from those who have tested it at doubel gun journal 2 3/4 or 2.5 makes no difference.

Plus, I believe Bruce Day, forgive me if I am giving the wrong credit here, said in the past that by the time this gun was made they were designed for 2 3/4 shells to get a better seal.

I am not so much concerned about the shell size as the pressure/velocity.

Steel does not deliver reliable kills like Kent TM or Bismuth or Nice Shot. I don't mind paying extra to deliver clean kills. I try to not shoot too much when waterfowl hunting anyway.
