JDG,
Unless you handload, $2.50-$4.00 a shell is what 16ga non-steel no-tox is going to cost you. Kent TM can occasionally be found for $25/box of 10. Hevishot Classic Doubles averages $35-$40/box of 10. Aside from RST's Nice Shot loads that Rich mentioned, I'm not aware of any other currently available vintage barrel safe 16ga loads.
Do you reload or do you know anyone who does? Bismuth is on sale ($154 per 6.6lb bottle) at Precision Reloading. That works out to $1.45 per ounce. Not cheap but better than $3.00.
Cheers,
Marcus
