It was written in 1959 and according to that missive it claims that 7 1/2 is dangerous at 125 yards (114m). No. 6 is dangerous at 250y (228m); #3-4 is dangerous at 300y (274m) and BB is dangerous at 450y (420m).
Good find ....... But as a long time water fowler, I'm having a tough time believing any of these numbers ...... I'll cave to a possibility of the 125 yards, but the words dangerous at 300 - 450m .......dangerous being ..... getting a bruise on a exposed finger tip while picking up deeks???
