My 8 bore WC Scott was used by WRA to test 8 guage shells. It is stamped 3 1/2 " on the side of the left barrel and I have a test card that shows they used it on a test round of Normal powder [a British powder] using a Leader shell which was a paper shell. WRA made a LOT of 8 bore shells- brass and paper.
