Low Pressure 16 Gauge

[Andy]

Funny that I bought 2 flats of rst last year at Ernie’s in 16 so yes they make them. I bought more very early this year. That info is wrong. The Armusa are great. I have a pallet of regular shells coming from Montoya. Be forewarned pallets in transit may never actually get here. He shoots at Binghamton a lot and can get bunker 24g loads and 1oz but it can takes months and months and have had no success with low pressure from Armusa.

Happy to see RST has some inventory. I added two flats to my cart, but balked when shipping came to $81.00. I will buy them though as I checked my Armusa order, and delivery has changed from May to June. Fingers crossed that they do arrive, as they’ve been payed for.

We know as owners of older guns and shorter chambers, that the demand for shells that feed them is comparatively small to the rest of the makers production.

I buy these guns to shoot them. I’ve plenty of hunting rounds for my needs, but I go to three different ranges to shoot trap, 5 stand and sporting clays 3-4 times a week. Rotating through my 11 vintage Parker’s (20 through 10 gauges) 3 Ithaca SBT’s, and Sterlingworth to spare them the wear and tear. Hoping to extend my enjoyment of each.

RST’s focus is exactly our market, but I want to support all who still continue to support our needs. Spread the love, if you will. It would be upsetting to see any maker abandon our demographic.

Carry on

Even though I've been a 16ga guy for around 60 years I don't shoot my 16's at targets. I'd like to, but the financial side of things doesn't fit with my current income level. I've got enough 16ga hunting loads to last me, and I shoot 12's at targets. I can afford that (barely ).

You will like the Falcons. They would not blow up a gun made of cardboard and the recoil is non existent. Get them while RST has them in stock.

My thoughts align with Phil's. I will take a 16 out once or twice a year to hunt with but not to shoot targets with. And I shoot a lot of targets. A lot. I reload for 12, 20 and 28 to shoot targets with but the 16 to me is problematic in finding decent hulls and wads. If one is a serious 16 fanantic then there is no other option for low pressure loads, available when you want them, than reloading.
