The question is not if you CAN get a 2.75" shell into it, the question is if you should. The reason they used to have a separate proof for the longer shells was they had more powder. With a 100 year old shotgun, you're playing with fire in using modern heavy loads in it. S&B still makes 12/65 shells.

I used to love being able to hit hard at 1000 yards. As I get older I find hitting a mini ram at 200 yards with the 22 oddly more satisfying.
