Shotgun shells that were made in 2 5/8in length were made and chambered in 16 gauge from 1902-1927. These were found in browning shotguns of that time and others made from different manufactures. The gun making firms standardized 2 3/4in shells starting in the year 1928 in all gauges.

Can steel shot be used in browning shot guns if you use improved choke?

Yes certainly it can with barrels intended for steel. It is generally not reccomended to shoot steel through Belgian FN guns no matter the choke. If you have a Japanese made gun with the invector choke system it is likely ok, but not certain. Check the year and be certain that the (invector) choke is rated for steel. The best reccomendation is to consult Browning with the year your gun was made (by serial number) and the barrel markings to identify the time period the barrel was made. They are best suited to recommend a safe answer to this question. Auto5man
