I just bought a 16 ga and now im trying to figure out shell length. I’m sure that there were a few she’ll lengths that were available through the years, so I am hoping you folks can tell me what was common around late 1800s and early 1900s as my gun dates to roughly the turn of the century. I hope to reload for this gun since I already load for 20ga. Since this one is not going to be a volume shooter, I think a lee whack-a-mole will suffice for all of my 16ga needs, which is nice as that will work with essentially all shell lengths. I may even go as far as using brass shells that are trimmed to length with card overshot wads.
I love old school guns.
