Can you use 2 and three quarter inch magnum turkey loads in your Winchester Model 12 1912 vintage?

Would you really want to even if you could chamber it? I believe that the standard shell length is 2 3/4 inch and the magnums are 3 inch but I do not think that I would recommend it.


Can you use 2and three quarter inch shell in 3 inch chamber?

The answer is ABSOLUTELY NOT ADVISED. The shotgun "chamber" is the length of a breech section of larger diameter that accomodates the wall thickness of the shell (to provide a smooth transition from the interior of the expanded shell to the barrel of the gun). Although the unfired longer shell can be loaded in the shorter chamber, the crimp cannot fully open when fired... it will be pinched in the narrower barrel diameter in front of the chamber. That causes increased gas pressures during firing and could possibly damage the gun. (Newer guns should handle this slight overpressure safely but you may feel a slight increase in recoil.) You can, however, go the other way around and safely use shells shorter than the guns chamber (eg a 12 gauge can safely use 2 3/4 inch shells in 3 inch chambers). There is some debate about the effect of this mismatch on shot pattern. Some credible long standing studies actually indicating a more uniform shot pattern from using shorter shells in longer chambers.

Can ceramic tile be installed over quarter-inch concrete backer board rather than half-inch if the underlayment is a three-quarter inch 7-layer flooring grade plywood?

You did not mention if the three-quarter inch stuff was T&G (tounge and grove), that might make a little difference. I am not an expert in this area but have some personal experiences to share. I was allways told from old school you should have two layers of half inch material one layer turned ninety degrees from the other to give a solid one inch floor. Then you could use the one quarter backerboard and end up with a good tile floor. Then the new school came along and told me i could use one quarter over the T&G three quarter. They said the three quarter T&G was equal to the old style one inch. I tried it with the three quarter and i have several grout cracks and two broken tiles. I was using one quarter quarry tiles six by six. Have now fixed yet but in another room i used three quarter T&G plus another one half inch plywood then one half inch backerboard and same tiles no cracks.


Can you shoot modern ammo in a 1951 JC higins 16 ga shotgun?

Have a gunsmith check the chamber length before shooting. Older 16 g shotguns used a 2 9/16th inch long shell. New shells are 2 3/4 inch. If your barrel is marked 2 3/4 inch, you can use new ammo. Stay away from steel shot that is used for waterfowl.


Can you use 2 and three quarter inch shells in a three inch single shot shotgun?

Yes but not the other way around .You can not use 3" shells in a 2 3/4 chambered gun.


Can you use a lesser length shot shell in a larger chamber safely?

You should always use the intended ammunition in your firearms. If you are unsure about what ammunition the weapon is constructed to use contact the manufacturer or seek help from a professional gunsmith. In a shotgun it is less dangerous to use a shell that is shorter than a shell that is longer than the intended length of the ammunition but it may still pose a risk.
