Very nice Trojan. How wonderful to still have the original hang tags with the gun. Interesting that the hang-tag for this 1924 vintage, 2-frame, 12-gauge, says "Use Shells...2 5/8...Long" and that it was targeted with a 1 1/8 ounce load. A load of 1 1/8 ounce of #7 Tatham Chilled Shot goes 336 pellets -- 225/336 = 67%, 250/336 = 74.4%.
I have saved pictures of other 12-gauge hang-tags that show "Use Shells,,,2 3/4...Long" and were targeted with 1 1/4 ounce of #7 1/2 Tatham chilled shot which would be 431 pellets.
I have saved another 12-gauge hang tag of 1929 vintage that says "Use Shells...2 5/8....Long" but it is for a much lighter weight gun.
