He sold the company and the new owners are... ...Yankee carpetbaggers? The marketplace needs multiple quality sources.
Backridge ammo did say they were going to start 2.5" shells soon. _________________________ Isnt Capitalism grand?

Here in New Zealand we get Gamebore Regal 16G in 2.5".
A UK brand that's sold worldwide I believe.

I am surprised there are no large importers of European 2.5 inch shells. Anyone know why that is?

And this:

I assume this is a hand load recipe? I don't know anything about hand loading but for $5 a box for 25 completely new shells I may consider it assuming I don't have to cut down hulls or anything like that.

What's the big deal about cutting down hull length? It's no harder than any other aspect of reloading.
