I have access to the catalogs of Western Cartridge Co., Peters Cartridge Co., Union Metallic Cartridge Co./Remington, Winchester and U.S. Cartridge Co. and I don't see it. Our major ammunition companies pretty much marched in lock step as to the loads they offered. They were essentially a trust.

Interesting! It would be nice to have access to the "backroom" goings on at both Parker Brothers and the cartridge manufacturers.
