Really cool. Weird that they needed a 3" hull for an ounce of shot.

yeah Mike - some cool stuff ! That 30'' M97 grabs the eye .... people used to grouse when that ammo was 2.79 a box .... My only reason for keeping the 16 870 I have is that one of these days it'll become a 3'' chamber - easiest gun to modify !! ( another great project , eh Putzie !)

I wonder why they were labeled as paper shells at a time when there were no other kind except maybe brass.

Winchester made 2 i think 3" 16 gauge that was a plan to market. Just before that the 3" puny 20 ga. was introduced and killed the idea of marketing the 3" 16.

I teally believe if Winchester went ahead they could have put the highly overrated 20 down. Just saying.

I have read that the longer hull allowed more card wads that improved the patterns significantly . It helped the ounce load with a better gas seal. Adding more shot had proven pointless, as we all know today.

The real "wild and crazy" there is the price on those listings. The only bid on the whole page is for those 3" shells.
