Yea, I noticed that about the shells too. One would have thought they would have used the new "progressive smokeless" powder for the proof tests. Granted, this was right at the transition period to smokeless, and it wasn't like the black powder was going to make a comeback. But, as someone said in another thread, "I wasn't at Parker" when they made these tests.
I also need to check the chambers for the length. Again.......what the.....?
This is the kind of stuff that makes collecting these so fascinating.
