Hi, I'm pretty new here, so I'm not sure if this is the correct/best forum to post this. If I should move it somewhere else, please let me know.
So, I've kind of got a thing for vintage shotguns. Specifically, old side-by-sides. One problem this presents is that quite a few of these guns, including a couple of my vintage English boxlock SxS 16GA shotguns, require 2.5" shotshells (or specific low-pressure shotshells). It is always SO difficult to find 2.5" shells. Its been so difficult at points i bought a 16ga reloading press and figured I'd have to make my own because they might never be available in California again, Ha!
So, anyway, I figured maybe others on this site have had this same problem, so I just thought I'd give y'all a heads-up that some just became available online a couple days ago online at Clay Shooter Supply. They are still sold out of all the other ones, but they have a very limited supply of these ones. As of this post, they have just 56 flats left. Anyway, maybe at least one other member will find this useful.
The shells are:
GAMEBORE REGAL GAME 16ga 1oz 2.5" 1200fps #7.5 Diamond Shot - FIBRE WAD - FLAT (10 BOXES/250RDS)
Okay, also, thanks for this site! Happy to be a new member!
