Yes, there is plenty of meat there. I wouldn't worry about it in the least. I lengthened a 20 gauge Flues built in 1926 from 2 1/2 to 2 3/4 inch. I was reloading at that time also. But a Nitro, they're built solid. I throw modern shells through my Nitro all the time, even Kent's shells that are closer to a stick of dynamite then a shotgun shell that they call their Tungsten Matrix, no worries.
