Based on those hang tags, I believe we may never know the answers to Edgar's questions. One could surmise from the earlier period tags...but that would just be speculation without any corroborating evidence.
These are incredibly interesting questions, but as someone who cannot by any measure be considered "knowledgeable," I'll stick to quantum physics and sleep better at night. In the meantime, I'll use the milder, shorter shells, enjoy my shooting, and continue to follow discussions like this with great interest.
Thanks for bringing this up!
