Hi Rick. Yes, 2.5 inch shells are no issue in a 3 inch Chamber. I would contact Hatsun as they say Box magazines are available in 3, 5, 9 or 17 shotshell capacity. Cheers and stay safe!  https://hatsan.com.tr/product/escort-bts410/

Yes, ANY shotgun chambered for 3" shells can most definitely take 2-3/4" shells.

Randy I. · Answer

yes it can safely shoot 2.5 inch shells however semi auto guns most likely will not cycle with the less powerful shell for mags  https://hatsan.com.tr/product/escort-bts410/
