Note by 1914 Fox (courtesy of Dave Noreen) and Hunter Arms were recommending only 3 Dr. Eq. loads in 12g
Smith catalog
BTW it was "Ballistite"
Early on "Infallible" was 22 gr. for 3 Dr. Eq. and Ballisite 24 gr. but they were listed as equivalent after about 1902

J. H. Lau & Co., 75 Chambers street, New York importers and jobbers of firearms, ammunition, sporting and fencing goods, are sole agents for Nobel's sporting Ballistite smokeless shotgun powder. This powder has been very extensively introduced in this country and has gained for itself a place among the leaders. It is a smokeless, waterproof powder, combining uniformity and accuracy,
high velocity, small bursting strain, no residue, no leading of the barrels and perfect safety, owing to its being unaffected by climatic changes. Its quickness of combustion recommends it to all users of smokeless powder. The
recoil is slight even with the maximum charges.
