Lloyd,
A sub 6 lb 2.5” 12 would be a nice find. Easier to find shells than a 2” gun. This is from the RST site:
“Please only order if you have a 2" chambered gun. We load these shells for that market. Once these shells are out we may never be able load them again. Please be considerate to your fellow gun member.”
Brent,
I sure hope you and Gil get the 2” handloads worked out.

Oh we have. Quite a few grouse suffered the consequences of it too. Another friend with a 2" has his own recipe and we have another from a third source as well. So we can build loads with American Select, Perfect Pattern, and 700-X that will all work in the 2" guns very well. They are actually fun to load, so that's a bonus. I've worked up a spreadsheet of the loads and others (that failed for whatever reason). Anyone with a 2" is certainly welcome to a copy.
Amended to add, I have a tested load for SR 7625 as well, if anyone has some of that wonder-powder squirreled away. I have a few pounds that I'm reserving for the 2x12 exclusively. I'd love to find some more.
