I like oddities in shotguns like the 12 gauge 2” and know I’m researching the 24 gauge and I’m curious if anyone owns one or shoots and reloads the 24 gauge.

I think Joe Norcom may shoot one.

Old Colonel has a beautiful French boxlock that he's shown here. Gil

Don't have a 24-gauge gun, but I'm ready for one with a box of shells. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/a1DDZZI.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/PT7T89z.jpg)

SRH He did, Stan. Doesn’t any more, but I suspect he’ll be along soon with info. I know he found that the Fiocchi ammo was grossly mediocre but had a decent hull to reload better loads.

The late gun writer Don Zutz was set up to reload the 24. I owned one very briefly: A Beretta OU that I spotted at Cabela's Gun Library in Owatonna. Some 24ga shells went with it. Took it to my old gun club in Iowa and shot it. Down to my last shell on my last round and I made an interesting discovery. At least in that gun, a 28ga shell would drop in and fire.
I can't recall who ended up with Zutz's reloading equipment. But I determined that the 24 was one of those situations where it provides an answer to a question no one is asking. All 24's are 2 1/2" guns. Especially with some 28's now being bored out to 3", you can push more lead through small tubes in a gauge for which you can reload and for which ammo is readily available.

I shoot one a good bit and I just use the light Fiocchi stuff. Tinker made me a good bit of brass & I have o'plenty of hulls. But what platform are y'all loading with & what additional velocity are you getting?
