Jeff: From 1895 through the 1902 GAH at Inanimate Targets,
Sporting Life reported the gun, powder and shells used by competitors in most major shoots, and the information can be gleaned using the la84foundationarchives

Much of the information is here

I did have links to the
Sporting Life pages, almost none of which work now since the site was "upgraded"
After 1902, about the only way to confirm guns used is through the ads in
Sporting Life and other sporting magazines
E.C. Griffith, winner of both the 1901 GAH at Live Birds and at Targets
Sam Huntley and J.B. Platt mentioned in the 1915
Forest & Stream and then in a Parker ad
