A few of Morris’s loads are 1150 psi.

In my opinion, wall thickness at the juncture of the chamber and the beginning of the forcing cone is far, far more critical than chamber length differences of a sixteenth or an eighth of an inch.

I've seen a letter reference from a principal at Parker to Capt. Charles Askins and dated in the 20's that states unequivocally that Parker chambered 12ga guns to 2-5/8" and intended for 2-3/4" shells at factory pressure level. I'll look for it later and will post the content if I can find it.

Richard - Poor man's answer. If you have a small machinist's rule, turn it on its edge and slide it into the chamber until it begins to reach the chamber neck, and light will show between the rule and the chamber wall. Read the rule. Bingo
