Thruxton, that's a tad mild for 12ga. A 2 1/2 dram load would be 68grs - most load 70 if they aren't using an old combination measure. I don't think anything can be hurt shooting the 2 3/4 in a gun made for 2 1/2. Also, when loading BP, it's measured, not weighted. If you're gonna reload use fiber wads, not plastic or you'll find a really big mess in your barrel. The plastic will melt.
