Anyone heard of this new company apparently loading 2.5" low pressure shotgun shells?

At $194/flat not cheap, they are using Cheddite hulls (the ones in the picture), which no-one else can get either. Located in NE Pa. based on the 717 area code????
Time will tell.

Anybody else have thoughts on the 'swirl' crimp on the "Quail" load?

That's how mine always turn out

The supply chain crunch forced me to try some off the shelf shells in my Parkers even those with shorter chambers. Several major companies make 12 ga. 2 3/4" shells with 1oz at 1180fps. RST makes a 2 1/2" 1oz at 1175fps. When I shot those two together in a Damascus gun I couldn't tell the difference and have gone through a few flats of the 2 3/4" shells in my Damascus Parkers - I am not recommending this, just my own experience

Now if they made some nice 12ga 7/8oz and 3/4oz shells at around 1150fps I would be interested.

I thought NE PA was 570 and SE PA was 717 . When I was in Scranton I had a 570 number ?

Craig ,
SE Pa is 215 and 610 area codes. I believe 717 is now North and the middle of the state.

I meant NW, but actually more central. York area is 717.

I guess I'm just picky, but the swirl says, to me, the press isn't adjusted for the hull length.

pre-order only? Payment up front? Sorry but this smells. I would be very cautious about purchasing from a company where zero product has left the factory in an industry with a known component shortage.

Anyone out there purchased any of these???
