A couple of examples. In 1916, both Winchester and Rem-UMC charged $5 per thousand extra for any of the longer length 2 3/4-, 2 7/8- or 3-inch 16-gauge shells over the "standard" 2 9/16-inch shells which listed at $47 to $49.50 per thousand. A decade later in the progressive burning smokeless powder, high velocity era Peters High Velocity 2 9/16-inch shells listed at $53.50 per thousand and the longer 2 3/4-, 2 7/8- and 3-inch shells listed at $63.50 per thousand.
