1906 PSI for 16ga loads?

[Harold Pickens]

I think DR16 works great in RGL's for 7/8 and 3/4 oz loads, no problems for me. I load mostly 2 1/2" cheddite shells now, and the DR16 works great with 3/4 oz and International (Hogdon website). It does not work well with 7/8 oz loads in 2 1/2, so I use the SG 16 wad there, with Universal or 7625. I have not tried the new CB 16 wad for 7/8 oz, but have loaded some 1 oz loads using the original CB 1 oz wad.
I have loaded up all my short 16 hulls, and may start in on a bag of 300+ RGL's using the DR16. Just dont know if I want to mess with changing all my press adjustments. My 2 1/2' 16 crimps look great, but am also loading 2 1/2" 20's and although passable/shootable, the crimps suck compared to the 16's--just cant get it figured out.

I got the DR16 hulls today. I loaded 2 boxes up and all is well. After loading 1 oz for years I can't wait to try these 7/8 oz loads. And no More cheerios to fill the hulls !!!
Load is:
Rem hull
20/28 powder 15.5 gr
Win 209 primer
DR16 wad
1105 fps
5760 psi

My Damascus Parker, LC Smith, Baker and a few other 16's will be happy also

If you like 16 G 7/8 oz my guess is you will like 3/4 in 2 1/2 inch even more. I’m loaded both 7/8 in 2 3/4 & 3/4 in 2 1/2 and found I rarely used the 7/8 oz load. Like Harold I have settled on International and avoiding press changes is a big advantage.
