Bill,
After actually looking at the flyer, I see you're right. Since my introduction to the Deluxe Target loading was a box of 16ga, 1 ounce #7 shot, I didn't question the intended purpose. But I see from the flyer that the 3" 12ga was a real handful: 4 DE, 1 3/8 oz. Even the 2 3/4" version was a 3 3/4 DE, 1 1/4 oz thumper. Also, the text states it was "popular everywhere with duck hunters."
Nothing confusing about calling a "Long Range" hunting load "Deluxe Target", eh? Also, the Victor Skeet was 2 5/8" while the Victor Trap load was 2 3/4"...makes sense (?).
