If you are using Reminton hulls, 15.5 gr 20/28 with a DR16 wad and 7/8 oz lead makes a nice soft shooting load around 6000 psi and 1150 fps.

Dale;
Try try the load Harold listed and drop 3/4oz. You will love it. Less shot lowers pressure even more.

I have pretty much gone to reloading 2 1/2" 16 ga hulls now. I use RST and Herters cheddite hulls that I cut down to 2 1/2. In those hulls I use the DR16 wad for nice 3/4 oz target loads and SG 16 for 7/8 oz loads. For 3/4 oz loads, I use International, and Universal and 7625 for 7/8 oz. I haven't loaded 1 oz loads for a while and just use factory Rems and Herters in fluid steel guns when I want 1 oz.
Go to Hogdons reloading site for good info, and if there is any forum that has taught me more than the PGCA forum, it is the 16 Ga Society reloading forum.
There are also many great load recipies in the PGCA reloading forum past threads on reloading for the 16 ga. Guys like John Campbell and Paul Harm have been very helpful.
