The length of the chamber in a 2 3/4 inch chambered shotgun is 2 3/4". The longer 3" shotgun shells will not fit in the chamber, being 1/4" too long. You can shoot 2 3/4" shotgun shells, of the correct gauge, in a 3" chambered shotgun.

Is it true people shoot 44 magnum rounds out of a 20 ga shotgun?

The bore of a 20 gauge is .615 inches, whereas the bore of a .44 magnum is nominally .42 inches. Also, the chamber pressure of a .44 is about three times that of a 20 gauge. It might be possible with some kind of an adapter to fit in the chamber, but there would be little point to it since the bullet would not receive any stabilization and the powder would not burn efficiently. In any case, a 20 gauge slug is a far better stopper than a .44 magnum.
