Later 12-gauge tags generally state Use Shells 2 5/8 Long if they were targeted with 1 1/8 ounce --

I have found that the vintage paper shells I've fired and checked for length were very uniform and right on for stated length. Not at all like modern plastic shells. |
Confusing? Ya Think? I just measure a Remington Kleenbore, Box labled 2 5/8", and roll crimped, it measures 2 3/8"
The attached shows a NPE which measures 2 3/4", and the same hull, loaded, fold crimped with 1 1/8 oz measuring 2 1/2"
