Here's a couple more that are tested
Fiochi 2 9/16" 1 oz Unique 19 CCI 209 BP Z-16 1146 6880 16 gauge forum Fiochi 2 9/16" 1 oz Unique 20.5 CCI 209 BP Z-16 1220 8020 16 gauge forum I would not be afraid to use these in any straight walled hull they fit in. |

I would also look into some 7/8 oz loads for the 16. That's my max load for preserve pheasant, and it works well on most shots. It's also a bit easier on older doubles as well.

This is for a 7/8th ounce load John asked for. I use Winchester 209 primer and Gualandi 1621 wads (I thing Ballistics Products calls them their SG16L). Any of the Gualandi 16 gauge wads will give the same results but may require a filler for a good crimp.

Based on 16g fourm data I loaded some 7/8 oz with 19 grains of Unique. I always shoot a new load with questionable data in a pump first. Seemed to me too much recoil for my SxS guns. Did not like it in the Remington 31 either.
My opinion, 16 G target loads, 3/4 oz with Green Dot 14 grs is too light 14.5 is about right, I don't need 15 grs for clay targets. 7/8 oz Hunting load 14.5 to about 15 grs Green Dot. All in Cheddite hulls Winchester primers, DR 16 wads fold crimp. 3/4 needs a filler 7/8 crimps well without fillers. William |

Personally, I use 14.8 grs. of International Clays, 7/8 oz of No. 6, a Downrange wad, and Win 209 primer in the reviled RP "black" hull. It has worked well for me in all 16-bore doubles for years.
