I shot a lot of those green and yellow boxed, high brass Remington 16's (3 1/4 DE, 1 1/8 oz) in a pre-war Sauer on which I'd had the chambers punched (before I knew better). Accounted for a small mountain of pheasants, as well as assorted grouse, woodcock, and quail. It was my first classic sxs, and I shot it for 20+ years. Only time it was in the shop was when the piece that connects the top lever to the Greener crossbolt broke. Still tight when I sold it. German guns, even when light, tend to be pretty strong.
