Default Load Data from Laflin & Rand 1898

Rather broad ranges here for the amount of powder and 1 1/8 or 1 1/4 ounces of shot, no big deal!!

I have the Pigeon grade LC Smith ordered by Laflin & Rand Powder Co. September 22nd 1895.
It features Crown Steel barrels. I believe it was ordered by Ed Taylor "The Old Reliable"
I have an article from the Sporting Life dated September 25th 1895 stating he was with L&R at the time, and was threatening to take up live Pigeon shooting again. "To put W.A. Smokeless in the proper light as a live bird destroyer."
I wish this gun could talk! I would post pictures....but it is an L.C. Smith.

1897



1898



1902. Could that be a Parker Recessed Hinge Pin?



1904



DuPont purchased Laflin & Rand in 1902, and American “E.C.” & “Schultze” Powder Company in 1903.

In 1912 under the Sherman Antitrust Act, Laflin & Rand was dissolved and DuPont was split into DuPont Powder Co. (later DuPont American Industries), Hercules Powder Co. (which retained “Infallible”, “E.C.” and “Schultze”) and Atlas Powder Co.
L&R “Orange Extra” black powder was still offered in the 1927 “Hercules Sporting Powders” booklet.

Cosmo has changed a bit since 1908. "Infallible" now a DuPont product
