Lubaloy Super-Trap Shells
There were two boxes of Western Cartridge Co. Lubaloy Super-Trap Loads in the Ward's Auction ended last evening. The two-piece box --
went for less than the later one-piece box --
Just the things to go with ones Fox SBT.
I guess this shell is all I'm ever going to own --

Re: Lubaloy Super-Trap Shells
It seems that Western Cartridge Co. considered their lighter powder charge 1 1/4 ounce Lubaloy load in the 2 3/4 inch 12-gauge RECORD case the Super-Trap load --
while the maximum powder charge 1 1/4 ounce Lubaloy load in a 3-inch RECORD case as the Super-X Live Pigeon Load --
I've never seen a box of these though they were in the Western Cartridge Co. catalogs and price lists from 1929 to 1949.

Re: Lubaloy Super-Trap Shells
I saw those too, Dave. New to me.
What would that velocity have been? I've never seen a 3 1/8 - 1 1/4 loading listed on a DE chart.
3 1/4 - 1 1/4 is 1220 fps. Would you think it would be about 1170 ?
The powder choice is interesting too, for a 1 1/4 oz. load.

Re: Lubaloy Super-Trap Shells
Thanks Dave.
Still looking for that one, the earliest Record 2-piece (If it exists), and the Foil and Plain Mark V.

Re: Lubaloy Super-Trap Shells
From the introduction of the Super-Trap load with Lubaloy shot in 1929, they were put up in the high brass RECORD case. From the April 1, 1930, Western Ammunition for Rifle, Revolver and Shotgun --
With the introduction of non-corrosive primers in 1931, they began putting the Super-Trap load with Lubaloy shot in the FIELD shell. From the March 1, 1931, Western Ammunition for Rifle, Revolver and Shotgun --
