Lots of info here if you look at past posts in the reloading forum. But yes less costly alternatives exist. Since you already have some RST hulls(hope you saved them), I would use those, and empty primed cheddite hulls can also be purchased thru BPI or precision reloading. BTW RST hulls are cheddite hulls. Hogdon's reloading site has good loads for 2 1/2" cheddite hulls , both 7/8 and 3/4. I load the following- taken from Hogdons.
1. Cheddite 2 1/2" hull /Universal 19.5-19.9 gr /Win209 primer or cheddite209
SG16 wad/ 7/8 oz lead--gives 1125 to 1150 fps and 7500 psi
2. Cheddite 2 1/2" hull/ International 16 gr/ win or cheddite 209 primer/
DR16 wad/ 3/4 oz lead--1150 fps @ 6200 psi
Both are soft shooting loads you will like, good luck
