20 gauge 2-1/2" reloading data

I inherited a sweet LC Smith and would like to reload for it, but can't find any recipes for 2-1/2" shells with low pressure loads for 3/4 oz of shot. Any recipes or directions to a guide with recipes would be highly appreciated. Thanks, Rob.

Check with Ballistic Products. They sell components for short shells.

I checked with them, they don't have any formulas for this shell. Rob.

Darn!

Check on the BB over at Shooting Sportsman. Those guys have lots of older shotguns with short chambers.

FYI, Polywad has 2 1/2" low pressure for both 12 and 16 gauges.
