In general, yes, since the 2-3/4 is a lower power shell. If the gun is a semi auto, it may not cycle properly. You didn't identify the gun (there are a lot of model 88's). You will want to clean the chamber at the forcing cone very well after you shoot it to prevent powder buildup when shooting the shorter shells.
