Default First .410 25 straight Skeet

I found this in the December 1929 National Sportsman magazine.

In those days the 2 1/2-inch .410-bore carried 3/8-ounce of shot.

SUPER-X .410 3-8 oz. 8 chilled shot 01.jpg

In the 1934/5-time frame the 2 1/2-inch .410-bore payload was upped to the 1/2-ounce we know today.

The 3-inch .410-bore shell was introduced during 1933 along with the Winchester Model 42. From the July 1933 issue of Field & Stream --

I'm probably going to put my 410 Iver Johnson Skeeter for sale.
