A Question For Researcher
I recently picked up three Winchester Leader shells at a little flea marker because I don’t have any of these in my small collection.
All three appear the same outwardly but the overshot cards read differently. Two of them are loaded with 28 grains of Infallible powder while the third is loaded with 3 1/2 dr. eq. Of Oval powder. Apparently Winchester used both of these powders at the same time??
Also, the primers look kind of early.
When would these have been made? And do they have a value greater than the $5 I paid for the trio?
