Shouldn’t be to hard to get a Reamer and run the chambers out in your little VH skeeter !

Not 3" but Winchester 28ga 2 7/8 inch shells listed in a 1920 catalog with 2 drams of powder and 5/8 oz. of shot. Just can't seem to win with these photos turning, nothing I try seems to work.

When I was talking to Tom Armbrust last week he was talking about 28 gauge 2 7/8” which was the first I believe I’d heard of that . I did have some circa 1960ish Peters 28 gauge 2 3/4” that were 7/8 ounce which at the time I thought rather stout for a 28 .

I may be dreaming in my self induced Massachusetts quarantine required of us out of staters to come to our own cottages on Cape Cod, but.... I swear I have seen vintage 3 inch 28 gauge shell boxes.

No George, it’s just that we know you’re from Connecticut... ;-)

I thought I had seen one or two also but at my age I can’t be too sure.
