I've abandoned loading 16ga 2 3/4 and just load 2 1/2" now that way I never have to mate the proper length shell to the shotgun, they all shoot 2 1/2" fine. Cheddite hulls SG-16-s wads, 7/8oz 8s and Greendot.
I've gone the other direction. Got back into 16ga reloading more seriously when Cabela's started selling the Herters shells and I found the right wad (DR-16) to use in them. More recently started reloading the black Rems. I know a lot of guys who reload 2 1/2", but I've always stuck with 2 3/4". Great to be able to do that without using filler. I've been reloading mostly the black Rems with the CB wad since the DR's have gotten hard to come by.
