Excerpt from the reply letter from Parker Brothers to Capt Charles Askins:
“Replying to your letter of December 17th [1920] …... Referring to the cone, we ordinarily permit our shells to lap into it 1/8-inch but as a matter of fact we have found that the majority of guns will shoot a better pattern with even more lap than this. …… In user’s hands we do not advocate the use of longer shells than those which give 1/8 lap.
Parker Brothers, per W. A. King”
