Welcome to the site where the owners and members have had it with playing "nice" and being "inclusive" and "tolerant" of points of view that are destroying the fabric of what made this country great. The members here are sick and tired of politicians of all parties lying, deceiving, stealing, and pretending they are doing it all for the good of the country while selling out to special interests who have the set goal of destroying this country. We have had enough of career politicians who use their office only for personal gain, and who refuse to listen to the people who put them in office. The membership is no longer part of the silent majority who play nice and get along while getting screwed by anyone with a loud voice and an agenda. We will no longer allow anyone to piss down our back and tell us it's raining. And we like guns too.

Default 2 1/2 in. 2 5/8 shotgun shell source for early 20 century shotguns.

Just found this site. I have a 1910 Win. Mod. 97 military shotgun with full vent and bayo. Probably used in WWI it has notches carved in?
You can use 2 3/4 with extreme occasional care? But it calls for 2 1/2 to even 2 5/8 shells which was common back then.
Hitchcock .45 on YouTube ran 2 3/4 through his for demo and it was jam omatic. Shells are not cheap but what the hell.

The old shotguns have a different method of calculating shell length size. I learned this the hard way. Old shells use a roll and not a flare when the end of the shell opens. A roll is slightly shorter when opened so the kick will knock you out if you are using a modern shell in a old gun.
Also to be safe, I used a chamber gauge to check and sure enough, its too short so I did a chamber job by reaming the "forcing cone " out a bit. You can look up "forcing cone" and see that its not a good thing to fire modern shells in a old 97 unless to first do the chamber modification.
After I reamed my cones, the kick was much less and the shells(modern) were a lot less distorted.
