I asked for data for 2 1/2" . All they show is 2 3/4" . I am sure something has to change when one cuts a 1/4" off the shell .

And on top of that I already have data for 2 3/4" shells from Hogdon , IMR , Winchester and Alliant .

I stand corrected there is a single load for 12 gauge 2 1/2" .

After I checked that one I then looked closer for the same thing in 16 and 20 . And as I said they DO NOT show any .
