Default Short Shells

I have heard mentioned that B&P makes two and a half's but their current catalog does not show any, nor any on-line retailer. I'd like to get some of these as well as some of the Kent Gamebore shells to compare alongside my recently purchased RST's for my new VH. I am able to find the Gamebores without difficulty.
Edward.

i would expect that some of the maker's short shells are only available in the UK because the market for them is much stronger there. I don't see the B&P shorts listed in the products tab on their USA site. there is a 2 5/8 listed as "traditional" in their European site.

Polywad also makes 2 1/2" shells https://polywad.com/vintager-shells

Also Kent has a 2 1/2" shell called Elite low recoil with 3;4 oz of shot. Very nice to shoot and you don't feel the recoil at all

Ill look into the Kent's. I used to love polywad, but since the company has been sold the customer service does not exist anymore. Rst are great shells, but loading your own is a lot of fun
