Matt, My 16 gauge spreader load is as follows. Remington Game load hull (Black hull),Claybuster CB0100-16 gauge wad, 1oz.#8 shot,Winchester 209 primer and 16.2 grains of IMR PB powder. After I drop the shot I insert a Poly-Wad 20 gauge spreader disc. In talking with Jay Menefeee at Poly-Wad he tells me he uses the 20 gauge insert in his factory 16 gauge shells also. It make a difference in the patterns.
Also when I can't get PB I use 18.4 grains of IMR 7625.Both of these loads produce 1200 ft/sec and just shy of 8,000 PSI. Very soft shooting load and they get the job done. I hope this is of some help.....
