Hello everyone,
I was recently looking for other sources of 2.5" (65 mm) shotshells and came across the Pensylvania company "Classic Shotshell Company, Inc./RST Ltd.". I thought I would pass along the website (http://www.rstshells.com/) for those of you that are on the lookout for 2.5" (65 mm) shells for that prized SxS husqvarna. I have personally not used shells from this company yet, so I can't give a first hand experience with the product, but it looks promising. If anyone has used these shotshells before, I would love a report.
Thank you,
Kirkp

Have never used the RST shotshells because I have always loaded my own. However, many of my shooting friends do use them and speak highly of them. Most of the RST shotshells are supposedly loaded to the lower pressures and lesser shot weighs that the Husqvarnas were designed and proofed for (CIP, NOT the higher pressure USA SAAMI).

I too have heard very good things about the RST shells. I have used the Polywad Vintagers in my Husqvarnas. see http://www.polywad-shotgun-shells.com/ They are 2.5" and also lower pressure (less than 7500 psi i think). The guys at Polywad answer questiions quickly and ship right away. Give them a call.
Take care,
Mike

I don't know if you can get British cartridges over there, but both Hull and Eley have a good assortment of 2,5" cartridges.

Here in Sweden, we are blessed with still having Gyttorp around, making their fine 12 gauge "Pheasant" cartridge, sporting both a sensible charge of 1 oz of lead shot, paper hull and fibre wad.
Gyttorp has just recently, following their merge, reworked their entire line of old school packaging. By the looks of it, I wouldn't be surprised if their aiming for the expot market, since the new style is very "international".

Thanks for the information on RST and the additional shotshell sources. I will certainly look into all of them with great anticipation for bird season.
Thank you,
