So I normally pick up 12g 2 3/4 ammo even though all my shotguns are 3''.

I stumbled upon 12g 2 5/8's (s&B slugs and buck) and 12g 1 3/4 Agulia mini shells.

My question is you can you shoot the 2 5/8s and a 1 3/4 in a shotgun chambered in 2 3/4?

I believe the answer is yes but I also want conformation lol. Also would there be cycling issues using 2 5/8s or 1 3/4 in a 2 3/4 shotgun??

Well I just watched a buddy use his mossberg 500 3'' shoot off a bunch (10 to be exact) of 2 5/8 slugs no problem with no cycling issues.. still doesn't quite answer my question since Im wondering if they will shoot safely in a 12g 2 3/4. Im just curious because the 2 3/4s in mm would be 69.85mm where the 2 5/8's would be 66.675. Which in theory its "under" the recommended length of the 2 3/4 meaning it should be safe?
 
Pumps may or may not cycle the Aguilla minis, semi's generally won't. The 2 5/8's should run just fine, since the unfired length is very close - remember a 2 3/4 shell is that long after firing, so with a modern shotgun, it's more a question of what it will eject.
