I called Mec and ordered it direct and they made it special order. They wanted me to send them a few of my 2 1/2 inch 16 gauge components so they could set it up. I bought the grabber as I have it in other gauges and it has been great. Loaded a couple of flats right off and am trying some spreaders. Very pleased.
I too have noticed a big difference from 1 oz. to 7/8 for recoil. The 1 oz. kicks hard in my "0" frame 16's but is a little better in the 1 frame Trojan but the 7/8 is what I'll load for clays. I myself though have found for me that the 16 ga 1oz is probably the best patterning load I have ever shot in all my guns and ill shoot it when I can and definitely for hunting.
The discontinuance of 7625 is a shame. I was able to find some American select for a recipe that has been floating around with good reviews for 7/8 loads I plan to try. I'll PM it to you if you wish.
Good luck
Eric
