OMG!! Shooting high brass in the brush. I'll bet that gun has cracks behind the tang today.

Those three rings around the top of the high brass is the Winchester LEADER shell which was offered in a "Brush" version.

Wish I had some of those “Brush” shells this morning..... I came back to camp with five empties of Morris’ best “Paper Lites” with nothing to show for it. It’s doggone hard to see through the foliage this time of year. Actually, I’m sure the RST’s did their job... I just couldn’t uphold my end of the bargain... or maybe it was the Fox I was shooting.
Yeah, that’s it - it was the gun’s fault! .

Back in the day, high brass indicated the quality of the shell, not necessarily a heavy load. Here from the 1915-16 Remington Arms - Union Metallic Cartridge Co. catalog one can see the wide range of 12-gauge loads from 2 1/2 drams pushing 1 ounce of shot to 3 1/2 drams pushing 1 1/4 ounce of shot available in their high brass ARROW shell --
