Harold, I cannot vouch for 16 ga but with 12s you can tell them apart just by looking at the plastic tube. The HS hulls are smoother and shinier than the old which are a more mat finish and feel slightly wavy to the touch. Additionally, some of the early HS hulls were head stamped as such. Once you get the hang of it sure beats looking down the tube for a base wad.
