2 3/4? I think the drum is not rated for 3"

[dvdivx 0]

See some cheap rounds that are between 2 3/4" and 2.62". Multiple brands. Just wondering how or if the drum works with them.

The roll crimped rounds that are a long 2.75" round will not feed.

Such as Wolf,Noble,S&B...usually the clear hulled rds.

So the S&B and estate rounds are a no go? I'm trying to get bulk #4 buckshot rounds that would work and aren't too expensive.

Correct,until Mike gets around to making the 3" drum which will take the round crimped 2 3/4" shells...but that may be awhile.

I'd like Mike to confirm that. I can only find 2 3/4" shells as the smallest bulk size. Not being able to use them would make the drums not very useful at all. Almost every shell is a crimped shell.

He meant roll crimped rounds the measure 2.75 inches unfired. They will not work. Standard shells available labeled 2-3/4 will in most cases fit fine. As was discussed in another thread, 2.40" unfired is the maximum length for the the production drum. Here is a list of shell lengths of what I have on hand. It is a 10 rnd average length.
