Anyone know where I can find 2.5" 20ga ammo in the bay area?
I have a 1914 Winchester Model 1912 in 20ga with a 2.5" chamber, and would like to be able to shoot it once in a while. I was thinking about getting the chamber reamed out to 2.75", but there's already a small crack starting to form on the stock...so I figure, smaller load, less recoil, less likely to incur further damage. The gun is all original except for a shortened barrel with a poly-choke, and it's not in the greatest shape - I'd say somewhere in the 40% range. But it's a fun little gun, and it's been in my family for quite a long time.
One of these days, I'd like to get into reloading, and I'll probably end up starting with these rounds since they're so hard to find.
