Wish I had saved the cartridge. During Covid I bought some old Federal 2 3/4" 12 gauge shells 1145 fps, thinking I might use them in this (then believed to be) 2 1/2" chambers. Gunter enlightened me that they had been lengthened to 2 3/4" without reproof, no doubt in America.

The Shell case was deformed and as I pulled it out of the chamber, the rim actually detached from the central base of the shell. Perhaps I will go back to Gunter. But the problem of the sticky, hard-to-break gun, appears to be more than the firing pins (which he shortened last time).
