I've seen more than one shooter show up at the range with 3" shells when he had a 2 3/4" chambered gun because they misunderstood the markings on the box between 3 Dram and 3"
A point very well taken, BigJim.
It's nice to see that we're were slowly breaking away from the antiquated dram equivalent info and giving velocity. There are so many more loads available these days, it's easy to get confused.

Sadly, many shells are labeled extra light, maximum, or something similar, and you don't have a clue what you're actually getting.
If you don't know that 26 grams equals 7/8-oz, you're really in the dark with these shells.
