Rocketman:

Thank you for the info. I plan to use low pressure loads since I do not want to destroy my gun (or myself in the process). MidwayUSA sells a new 2 3/4 shell by Federal (I think its Federal) made for vintage guns. These shells are low pressure and made to protect the older guns. I plan to use these special shells so that I do not damage the gun. The current owner uses low pressure shells when shooting this gun, but who knows what the other prior owners used. I would think someone who owns a Purdey would know what to use, but then again I could be wrong.

Here is a stupid question, but can I still use 2 1/2 shells in a gun with 2 3/4 chambers? As you can tell I am still a novice.
