The OP is shooting a 2 1/2" gun which I'd guess has short forcing cones and is designed for fiber wads.


The gun in question is a 16 gauge 1884 Rigby SLE that was sleeved in 1955 with conventional steel barrels and proofed for 2 1/2" length shells at 3 tons.


I have become addicted to English hammered shotguns to the detriment of my wallet.
