need some advice/opinions

[BRDHNTR]

I have a very nice Parker GH 12 ga Damascus that Brad B. has lovingly restored for me. The 32 inch barrels measure out at .044 for each full choked barrel. It's chambered for 2 1/2 inch shells.

My problem is that I'd like to shoot trap with it. I only load 7/8 and 1 oz loads for skeet with the second barrel that I have for this (26 inch Damascus barrels) that is chambered for 2 3/4 inch shells.

I have no desire to get into reloading 2 1/2 inch shells.

With the 32 inch barrels measuring a healthy .044 per barrel, and even though the chambers are 2 1/2 inch, would shooting the light loads above in 2 3/4 inch pose a problem or would it just be better to have the chambers opened up?

What say you folks who know more about Damascus barrels than I? I really don't want to pay the higher cost for RST 2 1/2 inch loads.
