You can usually get factory 65mm (2.5 inch) hulls at not much more than the price of 2.75, from the reloading suppliers. E.g., https://www.ballisticproducts.com/Cheddi...ctinfo/1391265/
Ballistic Products usually also has short paper hulls and short hulls in other gauges, though those seem to be more seasonal in their availability.

The "biggest" issue with short hulls is having your reloading machine able to handle them. Adjustment may be necessary.
