.410 shotshells come in several lengths:
2.5"
2.75"
3".............sometimes called a "magnum"
In the USA, 3" magnums are very common

73mm is about 2.87 inches, call it 2.9 and and it sounds pretty close to what we'd call a three inch shell.

A shotgun shell's length is the FIRED length. Was the 73mm measured brfore or after firing.
Never saw 2.75" 410 - only 2.5 or 3.

2" 410
Gamebore makes a 2" 410 shotgun shell in number 7 and 6 shot. I have quite a few boxes of these and lots of fun for small kids to shoot. Also pretty challenging for skeet.
