As the saying goes,”I’m from Missouri….”
Maybe it’s just the photos but the crimps don’t look very good and one shell appears to have a slight bulge right in front of brass. If an established company like RST can’t get components how can a startup accomplish it? Joe, Where did you see pictures of the shells? I cant see anything but the boxes and the bases of a couple of rounds and a plastic shot cup???

Funny, I was able to see pictures of the shells showing crimp end yesterday (they showed fold crimps) but today I followed every link I could find and could not find the same picture.
I do wish them well and hope they are able to get going and expand their offerings as there is certainly a need. The only gun I have which has 2.5 inch chambers is a 20 gauge and I am now reloading for it, but it is good to have options. It would be nice if they would sell fewer than 10 boxes per order though.
As to listing pressures, in their defense none of the major shotshell manufacturers (at least in the US) report the pressures their shells generate, and I don't believe RST does (did) either.

RST doesn't list pressures on their website. If you call and ask they will tell you. I sent an email to them a few years ago and they sent me a spreadsheet for most if not all their loads.

This is encouraging, but the information is a bit spotty. Southern Pennsylvania, eh? I do hope this develops into something a skosh more tangible.
As it may have been mentioned before here, I too am a huge RST fan but...if they can't get more production going, I'm not sure how these folks will?

I have a flat being delivered on Monday, according to UPS tracking.
I’ll know more after I receive.
Best regards,

Fwiw- I have not placed a pre-order as I was waiting for Shenk having in-stock shells before committing my funds. Jake has regularly and timely responded to my monthly pesty emails (as late as April 17) asking for the date of shells on the shelves.
I know we would really love to know the feedback from those who recieved pre-orders since those were already being sent according to Jake.
