This is basically two questions.
First, I am having a HARD time finding a place that I can purchase 16 ga ammunition that is suitable for target shooting and affordable. Can anyone recommend somewhere I can order 16 ga ammo for trap/skeet shooting at a good price?
Second, I want to shoot paper in my Ithaca 37S. (Kind of a family tradition thing.) The only shells I can find that are 16 ga and paper are from RST. They are 2 1/2 inch shells, but my chamber is 2 3/4 inch. Is this a problem?
Thanks! |

Bass Pro $6.99 per box plus shipping.
Remington Game Loads and they are #8's and #7 1/2's.
The RST's will be fine, have fun!! |

There's no such thing as cheap 16 gauge ammo, unless you reload. 
And yes, the 2-1/2" RST's will work fine in your Model 37. |

| Dick's Sporting Goods, if you have one. I just got Remingtons for $5.98 a box there. They have 6,7.5s, and 8s. You can try their website, not sure if they sell them on there. www.dickssportinggoods.com |
