I am aware of the risks of loading a 3" shell in a 2 3/4" chamber, but I was curious of the other way around. I have a Savage 12ga single shot. That I know very little about and I would like to shoot it using the excess 2 3/4" shells that I bought for my Maverick 88, but the barrel on the Savage says 3" Chamber and unlike my Maverick it gives no specific shell size. I wouldn't imagine it would be an issue because I can fire both 3" and 2 3/4" out of the Maverick.
My question being:
Would firing 2 3/4" shells out of my Savage with a 3" chamber cause any structural damage or catastrophic failure? How about long term use of 2 3/4" shells?
