I shoot a lot of patterns, I have some old paper factory 1 1/8 oz 4's 12 ga, look to be from 1930's or 40's. had to try one, it shot 80 % out of a full choked parker. I couldn't get my reloads to shoot that tight out of the same gun. 72%. maybe I will try it again to see if it shoots the same, I will get back to you all, scott

Well ,I just did another test pattern after my post above with the old rem. 1 oz 4's with my 28 in. Trojan 12 ga F/F and it too shot 80 %. 108 hits out of 134 in the load, so new shell to old ?? I am still out on it , need more test, scott
