but still- even if the chambers are longer - the pressures it was designed for were not higher.

the modern 3 1/2 was introduced about 1932

I killed two nice Canadas last evening with a wonderful but well used EH. RST Bismuth #2s hammered them. One was about 45 yds, the other about 35. They just folded up and were DOA upon impact. Unfortunately it was not a double. I was very lucky on both shots. Now if I can just figure out how to post pictures.

I got another pair yesterday (not a double). One of them had a band! Bands are a big deal around here.

Legh, which pup is that in your avatar picture? Is that Earl of Coronation, Grace's sire?

I didn’t watch you guys shoot the 5 stand this spring . “Generally” what distance are those targets ? If I’m not mistaken Patton said something about them being further then those on the Sporting Clays course ?
