Lots of 12g Selby Load boxes here, and it appears they would be loaded in any case and with any powder

My 20 gauge VH #153,333 was ordered to shoot 3 dram, 1 ounce loads. However, I don't remember seeing a box of these shells.

I've never seen a catalog offering these loads, but I have a box of them --

I hope this is not a dumb question but were people shooting these 3 inch shells in their short chambers, just to get a better seal with the "better" and more wadding?

How often do you see 20 and 16 gauge guns with 3 inch chambers during this time period?

I think there are more 2 7/8" and 3" guns out there than there are clean boxes of early shells made for them.

Holy crap, Harry. What (and where) do you need to put out a barrage like that?

My 20/32 VHE was ordered with 3” chambers. It was also shipped to a hardware store in San Francisco so I assume it was for ducks.

I have d a BHE 20 with 32 inch barrels and 3 inch chambers also shipped to San Francisco. A duck club gun? Maybe.
