Three inch 20 gauge....

[charlie cleveland]

a j your question is not dumb...people did not shoot the 3 inch shell in there short chambered guns to get a better seal....and 3 inch chambered guns of those years were special order..fellows like us would have never seen one....to be honest i still have not seen one in person just pictures... would love to own one of those guns with 32 inch barrels and 3 inch chambers and extra full chokes....i was reading on one of the boxes here it said thier shells would kill at 70 - 80 yards and even farther....wish they would sale these shells again...i do like to look at these old shell boxes as much as i do guns...thanks fellas... charlie
