I shoot RST shells in 10 gauge, 12, 16, 20, and 28. I shoot 2 1/2” shells in all of my Damascus guns and either 2 1/2” or 2 3/4” in my fluid steel barreled guns.
Of course the 10 gauge shells are 2 5/8” or 2 7/8” and I’ll use either in my 3-frame Damascus guns, one of which is a 4-digit Lifter with the chamber ending in the sharp-edged rim rather than a forcing cone.
I will use off-the-shelf 2 3/4” loads in my DH 2-frame Titanic barreled gun when turkey hunting.
RST in both cheddite hulls or paper... they’re all good but I like paper best when I’m hunting grouse and woodcock, just for that nostalgic feeling I guess.
