Cheditte 16 ga hulls (cut to 2 1/2")
Cheditte 209 primer
Sporting 16 wad
7/8 oz. bismuth
15.7 gr International
You'll have to use the taller version wad in 2 3/4" hull. Had these tested at Precision. Avg velocity 1229 FPS, Avg pressure 8733 PSI
Same as above but with 7/8 oz. #7 1/2 lead and Fioche 616 primers, also tested at Precision. Avg velocity 1211 FPS, Avg pressure 8433 PSI. The bismuth is lethal over decoys and the lead just fine on clays, dove and quail. Pleasant rounds to shoot. I usually have an "0" frame 16 in hand with the lead that weighs under 6#.
As always, these loads are just my experience, use at your own risk.
