Not an answer to your question but a related problem occurred with Remington 10 ga. hulls, new manufacture, in which the rims were oversize causing the same problem. The Cheddite and federal i had been using were smaller and worked well but the Remington caused the gun to close and open hard. Filing the rim a few thousands solved the problem.
Looked through my loading room for some old roll crimp 28's i had to measure them but they grew legs and walked off. |

Bravo Brian!
Did you reconfigure the original trigger guard or find a replacement? Terry, please bring that gem to Ernie's in June. It would be neat if we could have 28 ga guns displayed at the cocktail hour in barrel lengths of 24, 26, 28 and 30. Hopefully someone has a 28" and a 32" would really cap the evening off.

I have a 28" also, but my cocktail hour will be within staggering distance of my tent.
Dan, I have 4 different brand hulls here, in addition to a bunch of old ones in my collection. All are .680" and up to .6815" Daryl, Brian also did a write-up about cleaning up an original straight guard, engraving, and niter bluing it. |

I don't know if there's more than a manufacturing reason, but I have some new Magtech 28ga brass hulls. I forgot what they measured, but they drop in just fine.

Edgar, has your staggering distance increased or decreased over the years? Has experience/immunity increased your stagger distance or has age and failing joints taken their toll on what once could have been impressive stagger numbers? Asking for a friend.

...or "staggering numbers."
Incidentally, I have a 24" twenty-eight gauge DHE made in 1908 and modern 28 gauge shells drop right in. I don't believe the rim recesses were ever cut larger. .

Mike, In the 25 years of going back and forth to the UK, roughly 60 days per year, when in London, I always stayed in the same hotel in South Kensington. The walk to my favorite pub was a pleasant 10 minute, 4 blocks over, and 2 blocks down to Old Brompton Road. My walk back to the hotel was a pleasant 45 minute walk back, 3-5 blocks up, 2-3 blocks over, 4-6 back the other way. It usually included 4 or 5 garden watering stops. The origin of leather patches on their sweaters (jumpers) was the crawl home from the local. In the outlying villages in was necessary to crawl using your elbows, so that you could hold a drink in one hand and a fag (cigarette) in the other. I know all this because a friend told me.
