I have heard Longshot doesnt meter well, but I only want to load up a few boxes.

Longshot meters fine Harold. It known as "loudshot" as it is louder than normal. I've successfully loaded 3/4oz. 16's with the DR16 wad using Longshot.

I agree with Double Lab. I have the adjustable shot-powder bar in a mec grabber I use and it meters fine. And the report is louder. Makes you wonder if you loaded shells too hot. Longshot is my go to powder for 16 - 10 gauge hunting loads as you can get good velocity with lower pressure than most other powders available. 16 gauge society may have some loads using the other powders you listed.

Adjustable charge bar= best addition you can add to your MEC!

I loaded up some 16g hunting shells with Longshot. Recipes came from John Davis and they work just fine.

I load 1 oz of NP BB's over longshot for coyote hunting in my 2 1/2" 16ga drillings, works great.
