  So the answer is 3 dram equivalent of black powder pushing 1 and 1/8 ounce of shot in the standard barrel (what ever that was or is) would be approximately 1200 fps.
  
  Winchester web site was no help. Walmart's comments were interesting.

  added I got to shoot a prototype 3200 as a kid that the Remington factory shooter lady had at the range. She saw me admiring it in the rack, so she treated me to a round of trap complete with shells. Nice lock time on them. I almost bought one years later but I'm a pump repeater guy. Learned on a 37 Ithaca but switched to a combat 870 Express.

  the barrel lenght is 30", 3200 Remington. I see different manufactures list 3 dram and the listed FPS are different? 1200, 1250 etc?
  Thanks Charlie for the excellent reply.
