We are not “stuck with RST or reloading” if looking for low pressure 2 ˝" 16-gauge shells.

The link posted above to Polywad will lead you to a second source.

That company now offers a low-recoil 16-gauge Spreader load in 2 1/2". I believe that formerly the 2 1/2 " Spreader loads it produced were higher pressure, albeit within a 2 1/2" shell.

As for price, well... ammo for vintage guns is a specialty item for a narrow market segment.

Not sure what it will mean for the future, but the company is under new ownership.
