Could you post a picture or two of this box? Through most of the 1930s, Shur-Shot was Remington's economy line of shotshells and only offered in 12-, 16- and 20-gauges. For example, Shur-Shot Skeet Loads were $32 per thousand in all three gauges while Remington's better low brass shell the Nitro Club Skeet Loads were $40 for 12-gauge and $38 for 16- or 20-gauge per thousand.
By July 1938, the Nitro Club was gone and the Shur-Shot line expanded to include 10-gauge and 28-gauge, but the 10-gauge loads offered were 4 1/4 drams equiv. pushing 1 1/4 ounce of #4, #5 or #6 shot. The last appearance of the Shur-Shot 10-gauge loading was in the December 18, 1950, Remington Ammunition Price List, still 4 1/4, 1 1/4.
The Remington Express 10-gauge 2 7/8 inch shell was 4 3/4 drams equiv. pushing 1 5/8 ounces of shot.
