So my girlfriend's dad has an old Fulton side by side shotgun in 20 gauge. It's in great shape and working order, and I recently just cleaned it up for him. He's open to letting me hunt with it, but the only thing is that it has 2 1/2 inch chambers.
I know you can get 2.5 inch shells from several specialty companies, but the only shot sizes I've found from them are #6 and down. That's fine for a lot of birds, but I really plan on hunting squirrels and rabbits with it, and for that I really prefer #4 or #2 (especially for squirrels)
If anyone on here loads shot shells and would be so kind as to load me some 2.5" 20 gauge shot shells to the specs I need, I will pay you for components and your time. I'd also be willing to reciprocate with some custom hand loads for your rifle or pistol.
Her dad was shooting standard 2 3/4 inch shot shells in it, but I quickly convinced him that that was not a good idea and all and could be really bad, for both him and the gun. I think he'd like to see it be hunted with again.
