Austin, first you wanted a reference that guns were made for longer shells than the chambers. I gave you those references. Now you changed your mind and want a 1920s reference for how such guns pattern with long shells. You can find anything you want in Askins' articles because he was in the word selling business. One month he would write that short shells in long chambers throw great patterns, next month they will throw bad patterns. I just read an Askins article from 1916 where he tests shot containers. In the lengthy article, he doesn't really reach a conclusion or compare his patterns to patterns without using shot containers. Why did he do that. Simple, to sell another article next month, in which he may actually reach a conclusion. Or maybe not.
