Any 2 3/4” ammunition you desire or is proper for the gun. When Parker and others chambered 2 5/8” they intended the gun to use longer 2 3/4” hulls. I think the reasoning was the hull would partially open into the forcing cone and provide a better gas seal as the fiber wad moved from hull to bore.
Parker hang tags on new guns said, “Chambers 2 5/8”, next line said, “use 2 3/4” shells.
Pretty clear.

Recommend by Parker 2 3/4 so why not, big difference between a British 2 1/2 and a 2 5/8 Parker!
