Harry and anyone who has concerns about what has been printed on shell boxes for a hundrrd years or so…. And even to this day RST prints the same thing….
Originally it was because most of the biggest ammo manufacturers were owned by or in cahoots with firearms manufacturers and this ploy was developed in order to sell more new guns with the newer fluid steel barrels , but today and even in RST’s case it is all about liability insurance. The insurance companies demand that be printed on the box to reduce their exposure to lawsuits.
