Wonder were you would find 7s. Letter with my VH gives it's percentages with # 7 shot. Be nice to stay true.

English #6 is American #7. The conversion chart with pellets per ounce is on Hallowell's website. John, your British "Ounce of #7" would be an ounce of American #8, not much of a load for an American shooter on a bird much bigger than a quail, unless shot over a pointing dog.

Here you go William

I shot quite a few 1 ounce 2 1/2 dram equiv. Remington Game Loads over the years and they seemed to shoot about the same as the wonderful Winchester/Western 16-gauge 1 ounce 2 1/2 dram equiv. Dove & Quail loads from those years when they came in a compression formed hull while the 12- and 20-gauge didn't!! Best reloading 16-gauge hull ever!! The last two flats of 16-gauge Remington Game Loads I got were marked 1 ounce 1200 feet per second, and they were just brutal, even in my heavy Remington "Sportsman" autoloader!! Shooting them in a six pound Fox was definately unpleasant. The 3 1/4 dram equiv. 1 1/8 ounce Remington Express shells don't kick like that. Fortunately I have enough 3 1/4 dram equiv. 1 1/8 ounce #6 and enough 1 ounce and 7/8 ounce at 1200 fps reloads, that if I live long enough to shoot them all up, I'll be one happy camper!! So, I won't be buying any more 16-gauge Remington Game Loads.

Thanks, I buy from Balistic products never looked at there shot. See they have a good shipping deal too

Dave, The best 16 gauge Remington Game loads are the ones fired by someone else so that I get the hulls....:)

Rio makes loads in various strengths, at least in 12ga. Not sure about 16ga. They're generally very reasonably priced also.

Rio makes a 16 ga one oz. at 1300fps! Pretty stout recoil in a light sxs.
