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 .

On its way Clarke, hope it's useful. Also have files of regular pressure loads. Theses all came off the 16 ga Forum years ago

Clark, are those the only hulls you have, or that you prefer to load? Seems like worlds open up for the 16 with 2 1/2" Cheddite hulls. I've loaded those in 12 and they're good for one reload, seemed a bit floppy after that but that might just be a faulty observation as I was just starting out. I can reload Cheddite's a number of times and STS or Gun Clubs like 45,000 times.

I have some of these Fiocchi to use up, didn't want to just throw them out, but I may wind up doing that. I also have some 2 1/2 RST which Im guessing are the same as Cheddite.
I have some 2 1/2 cheddites ordered as well.
Just got my 16 ga loader last week. Anxious to get started !

Hahahaha!! I was there. Now I can fill a landfill with hulls I will never use. My simple advice is get a short kit for the MEC and stick with 2.5 cheddite. If you need any I can send you some PM me.

I throw my Cheddites out when I get too embarrassed when people see how dirty they are. My Scots family would deny any relationship.

Clark,

Here’s a low pressure 7/8 oz load with Cheddite 2 1/2 hulls and longshot FWIW..

Brett

That looks like a nice low pressure load, Brett, I think I'll try it.

Harold,

I should have mentioned that these loads were
roll crimped. I have similar loads with Unique, Universal Clays and Green dot as well.

Best,
Brett

Thanks Brett,
From what I have seen, it just seems the way to go to use a 2 1/2 cheddite….the short kit is going on the MEC !
