Dose anyone know if they discontinued these mini shells? I've sent an email asking but have yet to receive a response.

My local gun store said they were discontinued. No one can find any anywhere.

I have a few boxes of the buck and of the slugs. Couldn't get them to function in much of anything.

What are you cycling them through?

Go to RST and Polywad to see if you find anything that interests you. Pretty sure that you can find 2 1/2 inch slugs and buck there, they also have 2 inch shells, no idea what loading those are.

Oh shit, so I can neckbeard the 10 mini shells I have?

Meh they wouldn't cycle in my Mossberg but I always heard they will in the Winchester pumps

Do they run in an 870?

I always thought they would be cool for squirrel hunting. A full ounce of lead is pushing it for tree rats.

I listed a bunch about a year locally, got zero interest. Seems like a great concept, but they dont run in anything I own.

I havent seen any others available in a few years

Long gone except on the secondary market.

Oddly enough I gave two boxes to a friend that bought a prototype Winchester pump (sorry, I forget the model) that was built to cycle those size snap caps. It runs the mini-shells just fine.

I used them in older 2.5" SXSs that I did not feel like ordering 2.5" shells for. I had a case of them at one time.
