Thanks. The 870 is padded. 7/8 would work. I don't think the 2" shells will function in repeaters. I do have an old 600
Mec that I have not used in almost forever. I suppose charge bars are still available.

Also thanks for the info on the SP. a flat for it would never be wasted. Someone in the family can use them. ,
