A point we may have overlooked is________________ tho and a half " shells were generally about ounce and an eight of shot
Two and three quarter were ounce and a quarter of shot, AND there lies the crux of it
I will be interested to see the replies

Actually Pete the US standard maximum shot charge for Skeet and Trap is 1 1/8th ounce regardless of case length . True a lot of 1 1/4 ounce loads were and still are used for hunting and even some heavier short magnum loads weighing in at a whopping 1 3/8th ounce but the number of hunting loads fired per year pales in comparison to the number of Target loads consumed.
