If it is ejecting the 2 3/4" 16ga shells reliably, (which is reported to be unusual for the short chambered 16) you don't need to cut the shell length back. However, you might want to reload to 2 1/2" pressures in respect for her age and originally intended diet. Otherwise, buy the RSTs or Polywad, B&P 2 1/2" shells (I found that some B&P were loaded pretty hot judging from recoil and don't like them at all in my lightweight 16ga) and save those hulls for reload as suggested by Cameron. These are actually 67mm hulls which is almost exactly 2 5/8" so check to see if they eject well before investing in a case. They most likely will eject fine.
