Hi,

I have an old reconditioned Spencer Pump Shotgun that requires 2 5/8" shells. I have a supply of 2 5/8" shotgun shells that were made for me specifically for this shotgun. I measured the shells and get a length of 2 5/16". I understand that shells are measured after they have been fired. So are the shells I have (2 5/8") correct for my Spencer Shotgun?

Just want to double check before I go grouse hunting next week.

Thanks,

Two Flints
