When the single barrel trap was introduced in 1917 it was listed at $135.00.(According to The Legend Lives) After playing with some vintage paper shells Winchester Western 3-1 1/8-8 c(chilled)cardboard wads it was a wonder how they ever shot the scores they did. At 16 yards a circle about 10" dia. only 88 pellets out of a i/c gauge. Reloads, put 240 pellets in same circle. The choke on those guns was tight,I never measured it,but what could have those guys done with really good ammo? Bill
