Question #1: Why is it that 3" shells should not be shot out of 2 3/4" chambers, when they do in fact fit. Seems to me that the longer shell would just open up into the barrel and the explosion is happening in the same place in the chamber...but there must be a reason. Chamber pressure maybe? Somebody on this site knows!
Question #2: S&B and RIO shells have a different crimp than most shells and their "2 3/4 inch" shells are pretty close to 3" long. Again, the only thing I can think of is more powder and higher pressures with 3" shells...
P.S. I'm just looking for an answer, I'm not gonna try and shoot 3" shells out of my 2 3/4" chamber. I've got plenty of correct ammunition to use, so don't start flaming me. I was just noticing that 3" shells fit comfortably in a 2 3/4" inch chamber, and I can't figure out why. Wikipedia did't tell me.
