Matt,
Dave Suponski makes some nice 16 gauge spreader loads. I'm sure he will comment soon. |

Matt, My 16 gauge spreader load is as follows. Remington Game load hull (Black hull),Claybuster CB0100-16 gauge wad, 1oz.#8 shot,Winchester 209 primer and 16.2 grains of IMR PB powder. After I drop the shot I insert a Poly-Wad 20 gauge spreader disc. In talking with Jay Menefeee at Poly-Wad he tells me he uses the 20 gauge insert in his factory 16 gauge shells also. It make a difference in the patterns.
Also when I can't get PB I use 18.4 grains of IMR 7625.Both of these loads produce 1200 ft/sec and just shy of 8,000 PSI. Very soft shooting load and they get the job done. I hope this is of some help.....

Dave and others, Thanks
My load Dave, is excactly like yours with the exception of 15.5 grains of Alliant 20/28 powder. Nice soft shootong load. If memory serves me correctly, 1100 fps and 5900 psi. The MEC bars drops a little on the light side, 1 oz. is closer to 7/8 oz., still does a nice job on clay targets. I'll try the inserts and see how they do. Again, thanks all. |

Matt, The Claybuster wad CB0100-16 is a 1 to 1 1/8oz. wad. Dropping an oz. of shot with this wad leaves room for the insert. In most cases you need to drop 1/8 oz. less shot to have room for the insert.

Thanks Dave. I'll get some wads ordered and get some shells loaded up. They might be good for those close shoots on five stand.

Here are two patterns from my new to me Remington 1894 10ga. The first
picture is how it patterned 1 1/8 ounce of #6 from the right barrel with .046 of constriction. Pattern at 40 yards was 93.3%. Same gun, same load at 40 yards but this time I added the X-Stream insert sold by Ballistic Products. Pattern was 148/253 58.5%. The X-Stream insert opened the pattern from Super Full to a Skeet 2 or tight IC. http://www.ballisticproducts.com/X-S...tinfo/3220001/ |
