Daniel,You really nailed it.Remember that in the late 1940s and 1950s everyone wanted magnums.They believed that if a little was good,a lot must be wonderful.We still suffer from that a bit today with these stupid 31/2" 12ga.guns.They don't realize that the loads are lower velocity,longer shot strings,and more recoil than a standard 23/4",11/8 oz.field load.
