Guys,
They my be suprised at the interest in 2 1/2" loads and consider loading in other gauges, especially the 16. It certainly has proven the case with RST's popularity.

They can make money selling those by offering them for substantially less than RST. I mean Classic Sporting Company could offer english shells (Gamebore or Hull) loaded for Holland and Holland for less than $10 per box if I recall correctly. No reason company here can't load some and sell 65mm shells for say $7.99 per box of 25.

Even a $1.00 less would cut their throats. They can all get more competitive

Caledonian, a Scottish shell has 3/4 oz loads too in 12 ga, but their shells are 2 5/8” and not 2 1/2”. They have 7/8 oz and 1 oz loads too in 2 5/8”.
Socialism is almost the worst.

Vo of 1350fps. What we are looking for is something slower moving and at cost of under $10 per 25 cartridges. I'm looking forward to ordering some of them mythical Kent of WV 3/4oz 1200fps 65mm 12ga cartridges when someone actually lists them as being available.

Not just slower moving, it's the reduced pressure I'm looking for.

I have been using Velocity line for sport shooting for years so I anticipate zero disappointment with the new product. I intend to order some of them new shells when someone lists as having them available.

The Caledonian 3/4 oz aren’t 1350 FPS Jagermeister. They are listed as 1215 FPS. In fact, the majority of their 2 5/8” shells are around 1200 FPS and some are less. Why don’t you do some research before you make false statements here? Also, the Caledonian shells are about $6.20/box.

Went to their site>>>Game>>>Traditional Loads>>>Classic 12ga.....states muzzle velocity 1350fps. I suppose if someone was to test them at distance other than Vo the average velocity would be less.
