Great recipes Harold. I use a small variation to your #2 in that I use 2.75” AA shells with the Win 209 primer, Win Double A wads and 7/8 oz. #8 pushed by 14 grains of 20/28. A very nice load that is easy on the gun and the shoulder but hard on clays and feathered targets.
The 2.75” AA shells actually measure 2 5/8” when fired so there is no problem at all using them in 2 1/2” chambered guns.
