16 gauge shot shells

[DanHolt]

I cannot locate 16 gauge 2 1/2 shells for my Parker anywhere. I have one box of RST shells I bought several years ago. I know nothing about reloading shells and prefer not to go down that lane. Any suggestions on where I can find the appropriate shells?

Dan, is your Parker damascus or fluid steel. If fluid steel, I would just be shooting any 1 oz load 1200 fps or under, and wouldnt worry. If damascus then yeah I shoot and load 2 1/2" shells.

I came across this in my reloading pile
It was issued by ballistic products under “loading Shortened Hulls”
Some 3/4 oz loads both folded and rolled crimp
