Not sure about chamber length or barrel thickness in chamber area, but I used 3/4oz light loads in WWI vintage 25" 20ga Model 12 that had short chambers. I use same stuff in my 4.5lb pump. You can get short shells from RST or use light loads from Fiocchi, but those from Italian company are 70mm not 65mm length. Anyhow light 70mm shells aren't likely to hurt that Le Sodbuster Speciale if it is in very good mechanical order.
