I've always been an inquisitive person, so I'll share my experience. Some years ago I purchased 10 boxes of 12 gauge Gamebore 2" shells loaded with 5/8 or 11/16 oz. (can't recall exactly) of #7 shot; and as I didn't own a 2" chambered gun, my specific intent was to use these shells for small game hunting, and in various doubles (2 5/8 and 2 3/4" chambers). These shells were roll-crimpled and I never patterned them in any of my guns, but can tell you that my experiences using these little shells on game was excellent as hey killed game just as effectively as heavier loaded 2 3/4" loads. And once I found them effective, I especially appreciated the fact that these compact little shells were so much lighter and less bulky to carry than their longer counterparts. I would suggest finding out for yourself; buy a box and see how they function and pattern in your scattergun. Best.
