Since 6:3 is 2", you are sure you will not be able to fit 3x2.75 shells.
Even if you have a gun that holds 3.5:
7" room to load 3.5" shells
7:3=2.34"
So, a plug in my SBE2 to limit to 2 shells of 3.5 will limit all other shells down to 2.75. AND THAT'S WHY YOU NEED A BENELLI!

Except the length listed for a shotgun shell (2", 2 3/4", 3" etc) is FIRED length - the star crimp has to have a place to expand to, etc.
So yes, removing 1/2" will do. No further math needed, although you could go for 3/4" and be good. Just check it.
This does bring up something though - What ammo do the critter cops use to measure? You could theoretically go for the
Aguila 1 3/4" mini-shells - if you have a 3 1/2" chambered goose gun, set up to hold 2 3.5" shells in teh mag, you could possibly get 3 of the minis in there.
One of my former students is a f&g officer here in Fl. - maybe I should drop him a mail. But I'll bet the reply will be "depends on what ammo you are in possession of, and how much of a d*ck the warden wants to be"
