Boought a box of S&B 12 gauge shells. They are about a 1/4 of an inch longer than the rest of the 12's I have.
I was worried that it was not a 2 3/4 shell so I measured it and the rest.
The american shells were all about 2.25 inches while the S&B was about 2.5.
The S&B's are labeled 2 3/4in and 70mm.
Is it safe to fire a shell of this length in a 2 3/4 in. weapon?
Is the shell system another of those old systems that are no longer correct?
Thanks for any info.
