Hos,

I shoot nothing but 2.5 inch shells and I like them so much that I shoot them in the two odd ball 2.75 inch chambered guns that share safe space with the 2.5s.

I have been buying them for more than a decade from B&P and for about 5 years from RST. The B&Ps are less expensive and I think a better product.

It is true that while on the road 2.5 may be hard to find, but I take ammo with me just as I do dog food, water and meds that I use and don't want to switch from when hunting away from home.

To answer the original poster, it has been my experience that there are far more really nice 2.5 chambered SxSs to buy than equally nice 2.75 inch guns and thus I look for the 2.5 inch chamber guns.
