Thirty years ago a fellow I worked with sold me 5 or 6 boxes of 28 gauge 2 3/4” 7/8 ounce shells all 6’s and 7 1/2’s if memory serves . And of course they long since been shot up . Seems to me the ones I had were REM or Peters .

Great information! Many thanks to my colleagues.

Now, does anyone know when Parker Brothers started making 2 7/8" chambered 28s? I'm away from my library and so don't have access to TPS.

Thanks again.

(Dave, you are a treasure trove of in-depth information!!)
