I started loading the 16 using WIN WSF about the time WIN brought out the WAA16 wad . Since that time I’ve used Universal Clays some , Unique a fair amount , SR7625 a fair amount and maybe 8-10 pounds of SR4756 in a load the guy I bought several thousand WIN smooth red AA style hulls from . It’s worth noting all the 16’s I loaded were ounce loads .

I had the following issue with the Focci 12 gauge hulls. They are somewhat flimsy compared to AA.
I had a bunch of them that I cut down to 2-1/2 inches and reloaded them.
While I was shooting them the gun (Parker ) would not close completely.
I witched to another gun ( not a Parker) and they worked fine.
Once I got home I check the other shells I had reloaded and found about 1/2 of the had the same issue .
I then tried them in other 12 gauge guns.
What I found out was the metal base seems to have a variance in the manufacture.
So they all worked fine in old hammer guns and they worked in a Blaser and Kreighoff.
I would try them once you have deprimed and resized the case and see if the fit in your gun.
I have discarded the ones I have and will find another hull that works.
