Faster burning powders are something that I was wondering about. The PCs might have shotguns with barrels ranging from 6.5" to 18.5" and it would help if the ammunition for the concealable backup weapons were optimized for shorter barrels.

They could certainly do this, as their weapons would handle the increased pressures. Sensible loadings would probably not show any performance differences at GURPS' level of resolution (though in real life they'd be more pleasant to fire, with less flash, and have slightly higher performance in a short barrel than a normal load). 'High power' loads would work as
HT describes, and could be assumed to be the use of faster burning powders, rather than more of a slow powder.
