Great box of shells. I love that they give the actual wadding on the label, "Thin Grease Proof and 3 Black Edge" --
Truly a custom load, UMC wads in a U.S. Cartridge Co. AJAX case with Schultze powder and Selby shot.
The Remington - UMC boxes of long 20-gauge shells I have or have seen just have a "Special Wadding" label --
From some of the old west coast shoot reports in my archives, it seems the big ammo companies in the east shipped a lot of NPEs out west to be loaded by local companies of which Selby in California was certainly the largest. California Powder Works was another large one. Honeyman Hardware in Portland, Piper & Taft in Seattle, Hardy Hall in Seattle, Miller Bros. in Tacoma and Ware Bros. here in Spokane.
