Acually, my chamber is 2-9/16" I just figured it would be a lot easier reloading a 2-1/2" shell since i`ll have to modify my press. Now if you all think I can still shoot a 2-3/4" shell loaded to low pressures that`s all the better `cause I won`t have to modify anything. I just don`t wanna push this `ole double to an early grave `cause i`ll never be able to afford another one.

God bless the fine men and women in the U.S. military
