I've been reading about some shooters firing 3" shells in their 2-3/4" chambers. There is a thread here in TFL. I'm way too much of a stickler to ever even think about trying that! I understand that a fired shell actually determines the chamber length so the extra 1/4" of the 3" shell unfolds into the throat which effects the pressure as the shot & wad has to slip by the extra obstruction.
My question is, could a gunsmith re-chamber my Rem 1100 12ga 2-3/4" barrel to shoot 3" shells without any ill effects? I realize that there is some fine 2-3/4" ammo available & perhaps there would not be too much of a gainer, but I'm still curious.
TIA
