12ga 2.5" shells - Where to buy?

[rolfyrolf]

Where can I get 12ga x 2.5" shotshells? How much more are they?

 

[Shooting Centre]

Anyone who deals with Kent shotshells can order them in.

I gave up trying to find them after a while. People who ordered Kent shells couldn't/wouldn't get them for me. I started making them myself.

Got a BPI trimmer, MEC 600 Jr, some black powder and WAA12 wads.

Take AA hulls, cut them down with the BPI trimmer, load with 3 dram of black powder, cut feet off of WAA12 wads, insert wad, load 1oz of shot, insert overshot card, roll crimp, profit.

I was making them similar to above except only used plastic components on smokeless loads, made my own cutter and a $15 attachment for my drill press for roll crimping, the Kent shells seemed very expensive.

I scored mine from Wholesale Sports, and yes, they are expensive. Just shy of $20/box .
I figure the $$ for the few boxes I have is less than getting all the odds-n-ends needed for trimming and reloading.

Don't know where you live, but Jeff at the Canadian Tire in South Calgary will bring them in. I've got an order in for Kent Gamebores English Loads. It has been a wait, but I'm in no real hurry.

Ellwood Epps keeps 2" and 2.5" Kent low pressure smokeless in stock.

I called them about a month ago, none in stock and no ETA on any more or if there would even be more coming or not.

They were in stock at Wholesale Sports in Saskatoon in September
