While I don't have a lot of Winchester shotshell paper, I was under the impression that the "Repeater" was a grade of Winchester shotshell. "Repeater" was a low brass shell, while their best shell was their high brass "Leader." Several of the boxes shown in Stadt state "Repeater Grade Paper Shot Shells."

Robert; Can you lay a scale beside those shells and repeat the photo?

Thanks, Austin

Looks like 2 7/16 to my eye, but in light of the fact it's roll crimped, call it 2 1/2 ?? All three measure the same.

Default Shell Length

Robert ; Thank you for the photo; you have hit the nail on the head. Although ad copy and boxes have lengths printed on them the real answer to this question can be found in one way; measuring shell length.

Best, Austin
