Did Winchester load 8’s in the Nublack or Repeater varieties ?

Not that I know of. The 8-gauge was probably not a big enough seller for the companies to offer it in a variety of shell cases. It appears they just loaded both black and smokeless powders in their LEADER or TRAP/ARROW cases. I thumbed through Stadt and he shows an 8-gauge 1901 METAL LINED NPE on page 18 and states they were offered from 1897 to 1907. He also states the METAL LINED shell was only offered loaded in 10- and 12-gauge.
