RST

Is RST ever going to ramp back up.I would think components are available now.Other manufacturers and several more new manufacturers don't seem to have supply problems.

If you go to their website they do have a limited supply of various shells.

other far less expensive options....

I have looked and bought shells but a limited supply as stated.I'm not complaining just inquiring if anyone has any inside knowledge.Five years ago they were stocked and at the Southern SXS with a full trailer.Now limited stock I would think components would be available now.Most other suppliers and manufacturers are.Cost is a whole other issue.

How dependent were RST recipes on Alliant or other hard to impossible to get powders? Many Remington wads are also not available. Things are far from the pre Covid days when it comes to reloading components.

Randall, what are the pressure levels of the shells you picture? Morris Baker and RST claims lower pressures suitable for composite barrels. Other makers of short shells with light shot loads do not make those claims.

The Armusa says “low pressure” and the BpS says “6000psi” on the label. I have shot a few flats of each through my 1924 Fox and 1904 Parker with absolutely no problems and frankly I’m not skilled enough to tell the difference between them. They both work fine.

Morris said they tested the BPS shells to see if they really were a lower pressure and he said they did test as BPS claims.

To Mr Murphy’s point, I purchased several boxes of 2 1/2” Shenk brand shells only to find they are way beyond safe in our vintage side by sides.

What exactly would cause them to be "way beyond safe"?
