I recently purchased some Dduplex Hexolit 32 shells that are described as 2 3/4" but measure closer to 3".
They will cycle through a pump shotgun with a 2 3/4" chamber just fine, but I have yet to fire them from said shotgun as I don't know what kind of pressures I might encounter if the shell is being pinched when fully seated in the chamber. I also don't know if there's enough clearance in the ejection port after being fired.
Has anyone had any problems firing these shells from a shotgun with 2 3/4" chamber?
Part of me thinks this is my subconscious trying to justify the purchase of a Mossberg 930 SPX that I've been wanting for a while (hey, it has a 3" chamber after all) but I really am curious. Certainly if there have been reported safety problems, they would have changed the description from 2 3/4" to 3", right?
If it matters any, the shotgun with 2 3/4" chamber I'm planning on using them in is an IAC/Norinco 1897 Riot model.
Thanks in advance!
