Trying to get my hands on 2" shells for an old 12 gauge shotgun. Ideally in #6 or BB.
I know RST makes them, but they don't have any distributors in Canada, and they don't ship ammo across the border.
Any ideas as to where to buy these in Canada?
Thanks!
 
WSS Wholesale Sports......an you're cheapest option is just to get 2 3/4" birdshot shells, cut them to 2 inches, an then take standard wads and cut them to size as well.

If ya want a really cheap low recoil load to shoot, use the appropriate powder needed for your shotgun or what those shells are normally made with, then make wax or hot glue slugs.

They will likely feed no problem at all through your old shotgun, an wont have to worry about choke type as glue and wax is very soft.
 
2 and 2 1/2" inches usually work at a lower pressure than most 2 3/4" shells. I'd be careful using these in an old, valuable gun and even more cautious using it in a cheap one...
 
You might ask your dealer to try Kent Cartridge Canada (Markham, ON)...
They were stocking limited quantities.

I got some 2" Gamebore "Super Game" from them a couple of years ago.
They are listed as 50mm, 24 gram, (English) size 7. They have a green plastic, ribbed case
with low brass base, a felt wad over-powder wad and a roll-crimp
closure with over-shot card.
They measure about 1.75" unfired. I've shot some grouse & woodcock with
them and a couple of rounds of Skeet. They work surprisingly well and have
as you might expect, very low recoil & a mild report.
 
Thanks a lot for the advice!
Beretta Boy, I just called Kent Cartridge, they were very helpful, and even though they don't sell retail, they gave me all the info I need to order 2" loads through my local gunshop.
Thanks again!
