The 12-gauge 3-inch progressive burning smokeless powder load came out in the late 1924/early 1925 time frame with the 1 3/8 ounce load.

By 1927, Peters were offering such loads.

The 12-gauge, 3-inch, Magnum, load with a 1 5/8 ounce payload made the scene in 1935 along with Winchester's Model 12 Heavy Duck Gun.
