I kind of got the impression the longer shell operates at similar pressure to the 3" shell, but that doesn't totally make sense.

Well, back in the 70's we considered .090 wall thickness are bare minimum..though I measured plenty of Browning O/U at .085...go figure..

The governing factor would be wall thickness left after intruding into the forcing cone.

I don't understand why one would want to. Heck I do all of my waterfowling with 2 3/4" handloads- 1 1/4oz. of Bismuth 2's or 1 1/8oz. of Nice Shot 2's, 1250 fps. The 30 or so Canadas I killed last year are mute testimony to the effectiveness of these "pipsqueek" loads. Cleaner kills than my pit buddies using 3 and 3 1/2" guns shooting steel. I notice them re-thinking their approach to waterfowl load selection. Just my approach, to each his own.

The reason is so that I would have the option, even if I never use it. I am thinking of having a fair amount of work done on this gun, so I want to start out with a gun that gives the most options I can get.
