"Just because you can fit something in a certain place, doesn't mean you should put it there" That's true wisdom right there
He's channeling the life lessons he learned from that crazy ex girlfriend of his.
I glad I'm not the only one who went there!
you mean he WASN'T talking about bud light?
it’s 38 Super in a .38 revolver again 😊
Yes, like putting peas up your nose, or as the old song goes, beans in your ears.
"Just because something will fit into a certain place, does NOT mean you should put it in there."-My wife and I literally DIED! Mr. Harrell has won the internet! True words of wisdom!🤣
Have you seen any of the lock picking lawyer's April Fools videos?
Excellent explanation, and nice of you to do this for one of the gun stores that helps you out……though without sound, that hand puppet part would have been slightly creepy. 😀😀
If I lived out there, I’d totally go to any of the stores you deal with, I’d also drive an hour to see your gun table, but it’s like 11 hours from Montreal.😢
Great offering, Paul! Thanks for the great content.
Yes. Fresh Uncle Paul. Time to get cozy with some knowledge.
In In In Paul's at the Ocean!
I see you giving GunSam ammo, we all come here at the end.
@@rob.3575 Paul and GunSam are my favorites for sure Paul said he is backlogged w stuff to film.
Learned this lesson the hard way when i discovered that .22s .22L and .22LR were all different cartridges. I figured a .22 is a .22. Granted i was 14 or so at the time, but i was still stupid. Loaded my fathers favorite .22s (a semi auto of some flavor) with .22LR, and went out to shoot at squirrels.
A couple of malfunction, and some unintended automatic fire, the rifle jammed and i was unable to clear it. Had to go home, and tell my dad "i broke your .22." He broke it down and hammered the bent .22LR out. He laughed and told me "you put the wrong ammo in, check it first."
I never forgot that lesson. In fact, every .22 i own now will accept all 3, just because of this screw up.
Appreciate you and your crew Mr. Harrell, you are looking great !!! Blessings to y’all !!!
Thanks for all the hard work Paul.
Your patience is incredible. Well done.
Thanx for all you do Paul! Hope you are in good order. All the best.
10:12 😂 Paul you are my hero! The professor I wish I had at some point in my educational or Firearms careers! 👏
That Lincoln City gun store is a keeper!
The special effects were awesome.
Paul's videos are timeless. I plan on showing these videos to my children when they get older.
Hey Paul! Thanks so much for that explanation. I appreciate it!
That was your best summary sentence EVER! Truth!
Thanks for the lead, Paul. I'm going to see what Brad's all about.
Perfect Explanation Paul! As Always... Love Ya Brother and God bless !
For the algorithm
Good to see you are well and in top form.
Excellent explanation Paul. Now can you explain why a 2x4 isn’t 2 inches by 4 inches 👍
Used to be! My grandad built houses in the 60s with true 2x4s.
Been shooting shotguns for 50 years. Never improperly loaded a 3” into a 2 3/4” gun. But also never measured a shot shell. Learned something today. Thanks Paul!
Excellent explanation...
I was actually curious of the differences...
All great points, Paul! 👍Thank you. Hunting season is coming soon, so it is well timed.
Be aware: European shotguns are often marked with chamber lengths in millimeters.
65mm = 2-9/16", 70mm = 2-3/4" and 76mm is 3".
Some older guns were chambered with in 2-1/2' or 2-9/16" chambers. The same would apply to them for 2-3/4" shells. For example, I own 3 16 ga. shotguns. 2 of them, an old Browning A-5 and a pre-WW2 Czech made SxS shotgun, have 2-9/16" chambers. (marked 65mm on the Czech gun) I cut down 2-3/4" shells, adjust the wad columns and handload them.
And, while 2-3/4" shells will fit and fire in a 3" chamber safely, SOME autoloading shotguns will not function with them, OR may require some adjustment to the gas system or recoil system. Refer to your gun's operator's manual.
Three finger lefty approves the hand puppets!
Honestly Paul and Company, thanks for all you do!
I hope you are doing well. You are in my prayers. I asked a while back about budget deer rifles with iron sights. I managed to find a savage 110 in 30-06 for $250.
God bless Paul. Best to you and yours.
that is thee best advice at the end. thankyou paul i needed that
Learning is priceless.
Thank you, sir!
Prayers sent your way. The cancer is wearing you down brother. 😢
Brilliant yet humorous
I saw you at the gun show. It was a great day!
Hi Paul - your videos never get old. Enjoy them all.
This is a very important video!….explained perfectly and for all the right reasons!!
Very good advice and video. Please do one on low brass vs high brass. Nearly everyone thinks high brass is more powerful when in fact they contain the same load as low brass.
"Just because something will fit into a certain place does not mean you should put it in there."
My uncle said that's what the ship's doctor on the USS Chevalier told the crew when they had their orientation class after boarding.
Darn, you Paul! I would have driven down to LO if I had known you were in town. Hope you had a great time here in Missouri.
We'll be there next month 15 SEP 2023
The event hasn't happened yet.
Fantastic for so many reasons. Thank you.
Thanks Mr Harrell
Paul dropping the greatest dad advice of all time at the end.
Thanks Paul
Looking forward to meeting you at our Lake of the Ozarks!
❤ your channel and your wealth of firearm knowledge Paul .
Never knew the reason why. Thanks.
Honestly such a straightforward and simple explanation, absolutely love it. Kind of feels like being in elementary school but when it comes to firearm safety, it really isn't a bad thing to put it in simple terms with visuals and hand puppets and the works. Could potentially be saving limbs and lives.
You have a great sense of humor Paul, and always drop it at the right time. Hope things are well.
I like how you say in all your videos you didn't win a prize. It seems to work I can leave a message without some dope saying I won something. Keep up the great content Paul 👍
Hope you’re doing well Paul. Semper Fi
Uncle Paul! Dropping more truth bombs. I love this.
Hilarious and very informative as always. Thanks!
The High-Tech graphics automation was well worth the price of admission. 🎥🎉
Good job Paul as always ✊🏿
Would 3" slugs be more accurate than 2 3/4" slugs because there is less travel down the forcing cone 🤔
They are for sure when shooting sabot slugs in my experience, but I've never tested with shot
Probably, but the only way to be sure is to test your shotgun and ammunition.
Love this guy..... Thanks Paul.
thx I learned something today I have never used the wrong size for my SXS but now I know how they measure it.....
When Paul puts the ruler next to it and its only 2 1/2 inches:
"BUT IT EXPANDS TO THREE INCHES!"
Thanks for the new info, I learned something.
Thank you for another awesome video!
Shooting longer shells in shorter chambers will increase chamber pressures to the level of proof loads. My grandfather's Winchester Model 97 was made in 1926 and had a chamber that was too short for 2-3/4" crimped shells. My son complained that it was too painful to shoot with 2-3/4" shells so I bought a chamber gage and a long-throat reamer and lengthened the chamber for the 2-3/4" shells. My son now says that the 97 is pleasant to shoot - a real pussycat.
"With the high tech special effects." Oh man this was great, very entertaining and informative as always. Love it.
Is... is that a Strongbadia flag on the wall in the office? Because if so, that's something I never knew I needed. Always great seeing other Homestar fans in the wild
Thanks Paul
Great video Paul. I didn’t know about that.
That was awesome, and a lesson for us all about putting things where they don’t really belong. ✌🏻 👉🏻👌🏻
Three observations:
1. We can't just get Beach Paul with no context.
2. We also need more Art Paul.
3. This is an incredibly concise and effective video for something that I'd always wondered about (i.e., why shotshell measurement didn't appear to correlate with the un-fired length)
Outstanding and informative as always! Never even thought about it. Never done it..after loading thousands of shells, I should have noticed it. As "Paul Harvey " used to say, "Now, the rest of the story "..lol
Paul demonstrating the double entendre.
I may have to come see you in Lake Ozark! Stl native here, but frequent the Ozarks a lot this time of year!
Very good. Thank you!
Awesome video as always each and every time. We appreciate You and I know all of us are keeping ya in our thoughts and prayers
Something you have to watch on older 870's, other guns may apply, barrel swapped guns may have a 3" chamber, but not have the correct ejector to eject the 3" shell and will result in a malfunction or possibly even break the ejector
Excellent point
@@sgtcwhatley just something I thought I'd mention, I've seen it cause problems for those that were unaware
Can actually collaborate your "opinion." An older neighbor across the street had a nice 2 3/4" double barreled 12 gauge with Damascus barrels. His son borrowed said gun to go dove hunting with his buddies. Long story short, the righthand barrel came back looking like a slinky after having been loaded with 3" loads. I thought my neighbor was going to beat his son with that shotgun turned flail.
"The trouble with our Fudd friends is not that they’re ignorant. It’s just that they know so much that isn’t so." - Ronnie Ray-gun
This is something I wouldn’t have ever tried or attempted. Glad I know a realistic answer lol
As a seasoned duck hunter I learnt something!
I like a 3 inch loads. I like them not because of increased payload but faster speed.
I like to shoot the head off ducks with a 22lr. Its fun to watch thier wings go splat splat splat on the water . The r complex flight instinct kicks in without a head.
Great video, as always. Not sure why they'd call me "Three-Fingered Jack" though, that's not even my name.
Never enjoyed watching something I already knew so much.
Bonus question: If you compare a box of 20 gage 2 3/4 inch shells to a box of 12 gage 2 3/4 inch shells, two sides are (predictably) longer on the 12 gage box. The third side is longer on the 20 gage box. Why?
It's because the 2 3/4 inch length is after firing, and the 20 gage shell being smaller in diameter, uses up less of that length to form the crimp into the center of the shell, leaving more usable length after the crimp is set.

I knew a guy named "three finger jack".
He was a helluva bowler.
Thanks. I learned something today.
I was under the impression that there was no chamber shelf in shotguns. I thought the length restriction had more to do with the ability for a fired shell to be ejected out of the ejection port (pump/semi-auto). I have never actually looked down the breach end of a shotgun barrel.
The last point goes double when the receiving end is crazy.
Or as buddy used to say, only bring ammo that your firearm is actually chambered for. It's impossible to mix it up if you don't have it in the 1st place.
I've seen guys accidentally stuff 20 gauge in their 12, load slugs when goose hunting, use 3 in their 23/4, and once watched a guy try to put 31/2 in his 3, thankfully it didn't seat even after he brushed out the chamber. 😂
I did not know that Paul Harrell what's a citizen of Strong Badia!
Great video
Once I accidently put 3 inch .410 in a Taurus Judge revolver chambered for 2 3/4. It opened into the barrel and we were unable to open the cylinder to clear the malfunction. Big oopsie.
LOL! Just had flashbacks of mt sex ed class in 7th grade ,"Just because you can fit something in a certain place, doesn't mean you should put it there" . 🤗🤣
Thanks
That is a great bit of information. Could you explain to us why you can't run slugs in a back bored mossberg turkey barrel. 😊
I always wondered about this.
Paul, this is just me but, I have yet to feel I needed a 3” yet alone a 31/2 “ shot gun shell for anything I have ever hunted. That also goes for the 20 gauge.
People might also want to note that there are older shotguns that take an even shorter shell. I do not know if there in 12ga, but there are 16, 20, and 410 I have first hand experience that should not shoot 2-3/4 length shell.
Sorry for you, Paul. That is definitely a drawing worthy of a C- at the minimum.
Loading an over length can also shred or thin the end of the hull reducing are eliminating reloading life.
Even though we are around the same age, it strikes me as hard as a hit from my long gone step father every time you state simple truths. He said once that the stupid often create their own fate. Wise words. You break down those basic words into easy to digest bites of knowledge that even a moron like me can understand...
Good work.
Hope everything is ok with your health.
There was a real that's what she said moment at the end of that video 😂
The last statement sounds familiar…. Except she was just a tad bit more animated in her explanation of this.
wisdom
I have a Benelli M-2 tactical 12-ga shotgun that is designed to accept 2-¾" & 3" shells, so no worries about barrel obstruction issues.
The main functional difference is that the magazine tube will fit 1 fewer shells when loading 3" shells versus 2-¾" shells.
When I'm out target shooting I shoot various shell types and sizes depending on my whim.
However, when I'm at home I load the magazine exclusively with #4 buck because of Mr. Harrell's video from several years ago that showed #4 buck to be the best choice for a home defense load.
My question, though, in a home defense scenario, is it better to load more 2-¾" shells (that contain fewer pellets each); or to load fewer 3" shells (that contain more pellets per shell)? 🤔 Are bigger bangs better than more bangs? Or vice versa?
