Gentlemen,
I can see that a star crimped 2 3/4" shell, is 2 3/4" long when fired.
My question is: In the early 1900's, were the old rolled crimp shells, 2 3/4" long after being fired or were they a little shorter.
2 3/4 inch shells are 2 3/4 inches long (within manufactures tolerance) weather they were closed with a folded (star) crimp or with an over shot card and roll crimp.
