KDGJ: The Springs Armory. Way cheaper than my remaining options up here (& I have an associate that speaks highly of them).

Edit to add: Thanks Dr. Drew, I do remember that string fairly well (but this time I have a dog in the hunt so I read it a bit more closely). My...how time flies. The good news is that RST sent me a flat with every shot size I could ever hope to want (not cheap but...pretty nice!).

If the need ever arises where I would have to do some 2-inch reloading, I'm fairly confident that I could. I already have most of what I might need (primers, powders, shot, etc.) but I would have to learn how to do that rolled crimp.

FWIW: I'll have to be pretty enamored with this gun before I'd undertake all that (my 16 is already pretty convenient). If RST keeps loading them then I'll likely keep buying them. Hunting grouse for almost 2-months straight up north last year, I used maybe 3-4 boxes of 2 1/2-inch 16?

I do tend to hunt with several different firearms over that period (hammerguns, my 28, even pumps) so that's a factor as well.
