IMR SR 7625
BP/SPTG16

6400 - 7200 PSI with velocities between 1125 and 1175 FPS depending.
My wife Julie likes "her 16" loaded with the soft 3/4 oz variety.

Default Short 16

I just got a flat of 1oz 16 ga 2 9/16 length ammo from Aerostar. They are p&g.
I would not recommend them for old parkers or LCs. They are stout for an older SxS. NIDs or Sterlingworths in good condition can handle them ok.

I pulled your load up on Hodgdens site, looks like a good one. Load I use, also from Hodgdon, uses DR 16 wads so many on hand will stick with it. Next order will try some of the BP wads the DR wad is cramped with 7/8 oz shot.

I’m sitting on what feels like a lifetime supply.
If you’ll pm me an address, I’ll send you a gross.
Bobby.

The BP/SPTG16 with 7/8 oz shot will even have room for a BP spreader disc.

I have a fairly new sizemaster. Would a ballistic products brass pre crimper decrease the number of bad crimps that you never get on a 12g. Mec?

I think so, others say they don’t work well. The New style plastic spin pre crimp caused me trouble in my two 600 JRs 10 & 16 G with short kits and used with Cheddite hulls.

Way I run the brass pre-crimp, fixed it does not spin. I have to align the fingers with the hulls crimp fold. Slows things down a bit but crushed crimps do too. I never loose a hull on crimping now.
