Best way is buy a used 16 G 600 Jr. mine cost 50 bucks plus shipping off eBay. Then order a “short kit” from Mec. It’s just a spacer that raises the shell holder plate 1/4 inch. It’s possable to make the riser too. It’s easy to remove and load 2 3/4 same press.
Pick up once fired RST hulls or order some new primed 2 1/2 inch Cheddites from Ballistic Products. 3/4 oz best wad is Downranges DR 16 7/8 it’s BP’s 7/8 wad, both specified Hodgdons data.
My Parker 16 Hammer loves the 3/4 oz. 16 Trojan could handle heavier loads but it’s a real pleasure to shoot targets with 3/4. About the only time I use 7/8 is with the Trojan dog training on Chukkers. Bigger or wild birds would need more.
