Pellet counts and patterning procedures for .410s, 28s, and 8s were available to the 1998 PGCA Research Committee, but we just didn't think about putting that information together. Our copying machines just wouldn't handle the right side of a Stock Book page.

In the early years of the 28-gauge here in North America Chas. Askins wrote about hand loading 2 1/8 drams of bulk smokeless powder and 3/4 ounce of shot in the 2 7/8 inch hull for his 6 3/4 pound 30-inch Parker Bros. 28-gauge.

Some of the Askins' guns have been located, and others will be known by serial number, but what about that long legged 28?

I'm not blaiming the committee that copied the stock books but a more careful placement on the copier would have made the entire patterning information visable. Some copieed pages show all the info, some only a portion, and some not at all. The xerox copier was only 17" wide and the stock books were probably at least another 2". There is even more info past the patterning data. Maybe Bill can tell us what it contained. It was a long and big job copying those books.

Here is a good example of what I mean about how the placement of the book on the copier was critical. The book could have been placed just a little more to the left and still copied the first left hand column which tells the grade and barrel steel. Also, note that the pellet counts are always ending in either a 0 or a 5. Did they really count those pellets or just guesstimate? They probably just rounded up or down based on a guess. All those 12 gauges in a row couldn't have all been 250 pellets!!!
