I don't reload 12's, do you have a load for 16's or should I not worry about using a "mid-range" CCI in place of the Winchester primers I'm using now?

CCI primers are a bit hot for my liking

I'd reduce your powder charge a grain or so and use them. You can load up 5 or so and send them to Tom Armbruster for pressure testing. Cheap insurance for a nice vintage shotgun. Primers are cheap shotguns not so much.

Sorry if my question moves us off topic, but I'd like to know more about Armbruster's pressure testing. Anyone have his address and any more information?
