RST shells

[Gary Laudermilch]

I just heard that Graf & Sons, the importer of Vectan powders will cease importing them because of tariff increases. I am sure RST uses Vectan powder in at least some of their shells along with other imported components. I would not be surprised that RST if feeling the tariff squeeze.

Thirteen bucks a box for RSTs or $4 per box for quality reloads. Hmmm!

Speaking of RST. Has anyone tried the new 2 3/4 inch paper Trap shells?

Took a quick glance at the 16 gauge 7/8 and 1 ounce loads which is primarily
what I use in the RST line. As mentioned earlier in this thread the cost did increase one dollar per box to $12, however the cost per flat is still at $110 which is what they were previously.

No, but I saw those as well.

I see that Ken. A flat of 2 inch paper is up to $150 but I only use them on grouse and quail so a flat lasts a long time. Better to have them and not need them than to need them and not have them.

Yes, John, great shells as expected. Have they improved my scores.....? Let's say they haven't hurt them.
