9x19 in 7,63x25 chamber

Bill,
Thanks for the clarification. I know you can use 2 1/2" shells in a 3" chamber, I have done it. What I was indicating is that it takes a 3" chamber to allow the 2 1/2" 20ga. shell to drop in far enough to allow a 2 1/2" 12ga. shell to be loaded behind it.

Many C96's have nearly shot out barrels and even more are almost smooth bored. With little or no rifling the pressures would be greatly reduced.

I just want to say that shooting 9X19 in a 7.63 is very stupid, I don't know how else to say it.

I plead with everyone not to do this stunt, you are endangering your life and the life of those around you by doing so-its not worth it.
