I guess the issue with this idea is that all my 16 ga hulls are already 2.5 inch, so cutting off the existing fold crimp portion will not leave me with much length to work with.

Actually when doing your own, I have found that without shotcups, you don't need much for light loads. I load a light load Red Dot load and cut the older shells down to 2" in 10 gauge. They fit fine with a short cushion wad and a short roll crimp. Easier to carry too.
