Larry: I no longer have Long Shells in Short Chambers, Sherman Bell with technical assistance from Tom Armbrust in Finding Out for Myself Part V, Double Gun Journal, Winter 2001
Bell tested two 1 1/4 oz. loads but could you please check and see if they were 3"?
Drew, Bell did indeed test two 3" loads in his test barrels with 2 1/2" chambers. One of them resulted in a pressure increase of 1442 psi. And of course the fired hulls had blown ends etc.
