2-1/2" shotshells


Recommended Posts

Looking at a vintage double hammered, double triggered, double barrel JJ Weston (Belgium made) with Damascus barrels. 

Assuming the gunsmith gives the green light on safety, where's a source for period safe 2-1/2" shells? 

 

Not planning to shoot much, but I can't resist just once or twice

Magtec makes a brass hull that is 2 1/2 in length I believe, they use a small rifle primer. Circle fly wad makes wads you can use for loading them. Have bored out the primer pockets to use shotgun primers for my 16 and 28 ga brass hulls, if you want something similar from that period. Love those old rabbit ear doubles. A lot of those old doubles were made for black powder loads. As a side note Ducks Unlimited at one time sold some commerative Remington headstamp brass 2 1/2 in shells, have a tin box of 12 gage that were made in Brazil for them and these were sold at WalMart. Mine were bought at online auction last year, but no information on what load is in them .
