Niklas,
They say 2 3/4" on the box when zoomed in.

Greg, agree completely except is brian setzer and eddie cochran instead. turned up loud enough to guarantee solitude from those who think i should be doing something else with my time.
yes, they're 2-3/4" which as long as the pressure is no more than proof is no problem in 2-1/2" chambers but we don't want to go back down that road.

I too think this is great news for those who do not reload for their vintage guns......but hope that Federal will some day turn it out in their proven paper hull for the more nostalgic of us. I say this because appearance and smell do still count with some of us geezers! Fine job on Federal's part, nonetheless.

I agree paper would be nice. So would this be safe in my old GE Lefever?

Can I shoot those in my 1905 Ithaca Lewis with Damascus barrels?
I have a letter from Ithaca dated 1965 saying that Damascus barrel guns are not save to shoot any more.

For NiklasP. The Federal low pressure loads are 12x70, and are Gold Medal cases. I prefer these for reloading low pressure shells. Gold Medals cost more because of the care and testing done during each run; whereas with the standard Federal Target Loads (which we buy directly from Federal for our 4-H club) are a fully automated run. Thats why regular Gold Medal loads are in the $5.00+ range, but Gander Mountain can sell the Federal Target loads for $3.69 on sale and $4.00 standard price.
For Greg Tag, you are paying far too much for lead shot. Bailey's in Houston sells chilled for $15 and magnum for $17.50. Also, I find that Cheddite primers substitute well for Win 209 and costs $99.99 for 5000 at Grafs, and Claybuster WAA12SL at Grafs is $78.99 for 5000. We buy Hodgdon's Clays for $95.00/8lbs from a vendor who comes over from Louisiana for gun shows. Using 1 oz magnum shot and 17.5 grains Clays, and free STS hulls, I keep my costs (minus labor) to under $3.00 per box of quality sporting clays rounds. Much better and cheaper than promos at Wal-Mart or Gander Mountain. Costs a little more to load Federal Gold Medals for low pressure because powder (IMR PB or 7625)costs a penny more a round and Claybuster wads don't work well in Federal hulls. Have to buy regular Federal wads. Still, I keep my costs for these under $3.50 for 25 rounds. Jim Haynes

Dwight, Mr. Brown, Dig and Salopian: I bought today an Army Navy 30-inch barrels C/IM No. 58756 and wondered if the barrels had been opened from original. What kind of Old World shooting would the gents have been thinking of, please? I bought the gun mainly for the chokes as ideal for ducks over tollers.
