Thinking it all through here. I don’t want to do damage to gun or fingers.
My 12 ga is a 2 frame The 16 ga is a 1 1/2 Being a smaller gun I would imagine 1 1/8 oz would cause more pressure ? Both guns are Trojans and are tight. Barrel wall thickness has not been checked. Now that I’m getting deeper I was thinking of investing in the bench mic tool. Would gladly share if I decide to get it. |

I'm trying to be cautious with these old Parkers.
just received a chamber gauge from Connecticut Shotgun. According to the gauge, the Parkers I have are all 2 1/2 chambers. I was lead to believe that the one Parker that was stamped overload had 2 3/4 chambers and I was using 2 3/4 shells in that one. It was only with this new gauge that I was able to measure accurately. Is it unwise/unsafe to use 2 3/4 shells in a gun with 2 1/2 chambers? I know the shells fit just fine, but it is as they are fired and open up that the length of the shell exceeds the length of the chamber. |

Are you sure they don’t measure 2 5/8, which are intended for 2 3/4 inch shells.

Looks to me like 2 1/2
2 5/8 should be halfway to 3/4 |

Yes that’s 2 1/2” and no, you shouldn’t use 2 3/4” shells.
They fit because the measurement of the chambers are for open (fired) shells. Open 2 3/4” shrells would NOT fit without pushing them hard. .

That's what I was afraid of. Big difference in availability and cost between 1/2 and 3/4 shells. Also have a 16 ga chambered this way for 2 1/2 and this shells are out of stock. Looks like next step is to reload.

I reload all of my 2 1/2” shells, 12, 16 and 20 gauge. But then, components aren’t easy to find either… and they’re not cheap either.
