You're welcome. Glad my "advice rung the cherries this time". Weighing the possible savings of using these older 2.75" 20 loads against the possible repair (if possible) costs of this 1915 era "Elsie"- whether a field grade or a 4E-- against the price of way safer choice of using 2.5" RST shells-- you get my drift.

I use 2.5" RST in my 5 12 bore Elsies for SC, barn pigeons, pheasants over pointing dogs-- Best shells for the $, IMO.
