Loren, whether you shoot 2 1/2 inch shells or 2 3/4 inch shells in your 20, just dont shoot any shell over 1200 fps. You'll be fine

Thanks gents for helping out. I will figure this out with the great advice offered. I will be able to measure with Researcher’s keen description. In an effort to locate the proper shells I’ve confirmed that many of the sources are not in stock. I will keep looking. I loaded my own 12 ga for years for skeet, trap, clays and hunting. I wouldn’t mind that effort to get exactly what I want for the 20, but would have to locate hulls, primers and wads. Any advice on where to find shells or components these days? I also acquired an old 16 ga St. Etienne SS I want to play with.

Just to make sure I understand the terminology…looking at the joint between the chamber body and the forcing cone, and based on Researcher’s explanation, the shell’s crimp opens at the junction of the chamber and cone. So if my measurement shows 2 5/8” at the breech end of the joint where it meets the chamber, then the shell capacity is 2 3/4”, correct?
https://parkerguns.org/forums/pictur...ictureid=14155 Note in the photo (not a good one) that where the forcing cone at the end of the shell chamber begins is where I took the measurement. Which gives me right at 2 5/8". https://parkerguns.org/forums/pictur...ictureid=14154 Last edited by Loren Tillett; 12-03-2022 at 10:01 AM.. Reason: Update with photo |

Sounds like a gun intended for 2 3/4-inch shells to me.

Researcher, thank you for your patience and advice. I'm sure all will be OK. Going to the range this coming week.
