Back in the day, high brass indicated the quality of the shell, not necessarily a heavy load. Here from the 1915-16 Remington Arms - Union Metallic Cartridge Co. catalog one can see the wide range of 12-gauge loads from 2 1/2 drams pushing 1 ounce of shot to 3 1/2 drams pushing 1 1/4 ounce of shot available in their high brass ARROW shell --

All of those same loads were offered in the low brass NITRO CLUB shell except the 10A and 10F loads.

So does "brush gun" in the ad just reference any 26" open choked barrels?

Woke up at "grouse camp" Saturday morning to a beautiful sunrise and right away I just knew it would be a great day. First two pics are from the open door of camp.

Grace made some really nice points on both grouse and woodcock but I just couldn't connect. In fact, I fired both barrels at a towering, twittering, corkscrewing woodcock that didn't level off until it was about thirty feet straight over my head.... both barrels...

And she pointed two other woodcock and several grouse but all we could get were sporadic glimpses of the birds in the sparse openings in the foliage.

My brother-in-law Jamie connected on a woodcock and one grouse - a big male with impressive black ruffs.

My grandson Cam didn't connect either despite firing six shots at departing grouse.

Beautiful pic of Grace, kind of reminds me of Leon danchin's setter Heads portrait.

I've seen some of his paintings and I admire them greatly.

That picture of Grace is wonderful. Georgeous dog. Looks like there is still a lot of green where you were hunting. Hunting early before a lot of foliage is down is not easy.

Thanks Tom for the compliment on Grace.

We’re doing our best to remove the foliage, but it gets pretty expensive...
