Slugfest!

Why would they reduce capacity if they are actually shorter than 2-3/4"? We have not found this to be true whatsoever in any gun we have tried them in.

Additionally, the S&B slugs are 1350fps minimum. That is faster than many slugs out and only about 16% off the 1600 maximum listed by everyone else. S&B is conservative in their numbers and as they use European measures for opened shells they also conservatively list their ammo as 2-5/8" instead of 2-3/4" (2-6/8")

They are fantastic shooting slugs. They do not reduce capacity whatsoever. They are shorter than 2-3/4" shells by a miniscule amount.
These are my favourite slugs and thank you for getting them. And no they do not reduce the capacity of rounds.
 
someone can not read a tape measure

When I encountered the problem, I must have visually compared the S&B slug to a Dominion slug, which is listed as 2 3/4 but is shorter than the S&B.
In my picture below, it shows a 2 3/4 Dominion Buckshot, which is taller than both the other two. If you minus the brass, the opened hull still reads as longer as well.
