Are the hulls straight wall, RSTs or another. I load 21/2 RSTs with DR-16 wads and with the CB-16 7/8 wad and the Gulandi. the DR work best but there are a number of different powder, load, and wad combinations. What powder are you loading? 3/4 or 7/8? Look at both the Hodgkin's and Alliant web sites. They have numerous load recipes to choose from.

John,
I'm using RST 2 1/2 inch shells with 7/8 to 1 ounce shot. I don't know what powder to use yet. I'm new at this.
Thanks,
Trey

You can't go wrong with Unique. 16 grains with 7/8th ounce and 18 grains with 1 ounce will give you a moderate velocity soft shooting load,
