I just want to be sure I dont damage my new to me Fausti SxS. Its chambered for 3 inch magnums according to the barrels. Can I shoot 2 3/4 shells without damaging the chamber?

[GRIZ22]

yes you can fire 2 3/4" shells

[Fred Fuller]

Yep, no problem.

And, "The only dumb question is the one you don't ask." :D

shotgun chamberings are "up to" 2 3/4 is up to 2 3/4, 3 inch is up to 3 inch. 3 1/2 is up to 3 1/2 inch.

Since I haven't seen it mentioned yet. NEVER shoot a longer shell in ANY shotgun than it is designed to shoot. Shorter is OK. Longer can have disasterous results.

yup yup

Dont be sucked in by marketing and be dazzled into buying a round that has ballistics far beyond what your gun can handle. Or maybe YOU get knocked down.

I have deep respect for anyone who can fire a Main battle Tank round at 4000 feet per second and drop a Elk at 4 miles through the forest and over the hill. But such a weapon serves me no purpose in HD.

And remember that the length mentioned, (example, 2-3/4"), is the length of the fired shell....an UNFIRED 3" will fit in the gun but it is not safe to fire.
