I'm with Skeettx on the recoil of Lyalvale 2" shells -- terrible. The modern Eley 2" shells are even worse -- you simply have to experience the pain of shooting them in a light 2" gun to believe it. I found them painful in my 7-lb 4-oz Beretta 686, much less my two-incher. No wonder 2" guns are out of favor in Britain.

RST has been a godsend for American shooters. They will 'print' some more, I suspect in time for the Southern.

The Aguila Minishells sound interesting. Phil Bourjaily informs me they are very soft shooting but dirty. I have an inquiry in to Aguila's media contact re pressures and technical data and will report back if I receive an answer. I'd like to hear about any experiences with Minishells in 2-inch guns.
