Please, don't shoot collectible ammunition. Quite often, the primers fail anyway.

Wow. Nash Buckingham's favorite load. I haven't seen a box of those on Ward's auction for years. I wonder how much they would bring there.

Do you mean '4L'? The 'L' indicates Lubaloy, which was Western's tradename for copper plated shot and bullets..

Those Winchester LEADER Super-Speed shells with the 4K (KopperKlad) shot are extremely rare and must have only been offered very briefly. None of the Winchester shotshell paper I have from 1931 to 41 shows that load. The only offering of KopperKlad shot in the Winchester paper that I have is in REPEATER Handicap Trap Loads in the early 1930s and the RANGER Handicap Trap Loads in the later 1930s.

By the way, I can recall that somewhere in a previous post I said there was no such thing as a Winchester 12-gauge 3-inch Super-Speed with coppered shot. Never say never! Me eating crow!

These are the LEADER Super-Speed offerings from a 1937-8 Winchester folder --

and here are the regular Super-Speed listings from the same folder --

Super-Speed loads 1937-8.jpg

and finally the RANGER listings showing the Handicap Trap Loads with the Kopperklad shot near the bottom.

Another thing to note is that Winchester put up the 1 ounce 20-gauge, progressive burning powder, high velocity, load in both a 2 1/2 and a 2 3/4 inch shell, while everyone else only cataloged that load in a 2 3/4 inch or longer shell.

Bill, didn’t you buy an unopened case of Nash’s ammo a few years ago?
