When I sold my 2" I gave the new owner my loading notes. I did not give him any loaded shells. My favorite was Federal Paper hulls, cut down and loaded with felt and card stock, then roll crimped. They were very cute little bundles. Those I had left over got shot up in a couple 2 1/2" guns I had on hand long before I heard about the clumping issues. My luck held and no ill effects came of it. But I would not do it again and I also would not shoot any factory ammo from Lyavlale. My fillings and guns do not need any stress testing.
I guess I have just come to the conclusion that a 2" 12 is in the same basket as a 24 or 32 gauge. Nothing that different to them when other guns are so close in performance in the 2 1/2" 12, 24/28, 28/32/.410. But different guns to fill a itch is fine for me, my itch has passed.
What powder did you use to scratch that itch?
