Is this safe in older repeaters with the shorter chamber. I've seen one website saying that the 2 5/8" B&P loads are fine for 2 9/16" chambered guns? I just wanted to hear from anyone that may have used them or knows more on the 2mm length difference vs safety/function.
Thanks. |

They'll be fine. 67mm=just between 2 5/8 and 2 9/16. 65mm=2 1/2.

The issue with most repeaters is not chamber length (or strength), but ejection port length. If the B&Ps eject fine you're good to go.

Thanks. I just wanted some first-hand info before I ran any through my 1913 A5 with a 65mm chamber.  |
