Re: #1 buck in my pre war Krieghoff drilling??

A concern I have, wouldn't that gun be chambered for "roll crimped" cases? which when shot would be shorter than star crimps. Thus with the star crimp would end up in the forcing cones causing a constriction.

Case length is measured with the crimp unfolded, as after firing. So a loaded star crimped shell is shorter than a loaded roll crimped one, but both are shorter than the 70mm = 2 3/4" after firing.
German drillings were never meant to be used with buckshot! Shooting buckshot or any other shot at any deer, boar or other hoofed game is illegal in Germany since at least 1934, before it was regarded unsporting and frowned upon. Your drilling was made to shoot Brenneke slugs from the left barrel in case of need.
