Last spring one of my interlocutors sent me some Pacific Northwest 1903 shoot reports from Seattle, WA, and Lewiston, ID, published in the January 1904 issue of
Western Field. These reports included the guns and shells/loads used by the shooters. A few shooters used Winchester factory loads, but the great bulk of them used various Union Metallic Cartridge Co. NPEs - ACME, MAGIC, ARROW or Winchester LEADER NPEs that were loaded by local services -- Selby in San Francisco, CPW (California Powder Works?), Miller Bros. in Tacoma, Piper & Taft in Seattle, Hardy-Hall in Seattle, Honeyman Hardware location not given, and Ware Bros. in Spokane.
