I asked for data for 2 1/2" . All they show is 2 3/4" . I am sure something has to change when one cuts a 1/4" off the shell .
And on top of that I already have data for 2 3/4" shells from Hogdon , IMR , Winchester and Alliant .

When you list all the components you want to use, except powder, don't expect too many replies.
I would suggest you take the components you want to use, make up several different loads with the powder of your choice and send them to Tom Armbrust for testing. That's how I came up with loads using components of my choice. |

RST 2.5 inch 16 gauge
HELP
Rather than start a new thread, is there anybody out there who is reloading the RST 16 gauge hull? I plan to use the SP16 wad and 700X powder with Win209 primers and 1/8 felt wads under the shot. But I am open to suggestions. Thanks. |

George, I reload the RST Cheddite hulls, Fiocchi primers, American Select powder, Gualandi SG-16 wad, 7/8 oz shot. Nice loads and easy on me and the old guns.
New 2 1/2" primed Cheddite hulls are available from Precision Reloading and can also be loaded with the DR-16 wad and roll crimped. Mike |

Graig, the same data can be used for any length shell as long as everything will fit - a good crimp. When going to shorter shells something has to change and that's usually wad column height or payload. Try going to 7/8oz of shot and if that doesn't work try a different wad. There may not be much choice with the 16ga plastic wads, so you may have to use fiber wads. There is a 16ga reloading forum - not sure of their web address.

16ga.com offers reloading info, but you have to join and pay to get the formulas.
