Advice Needed For 16 Ga Shells

Bummer they just sold out again. Go to the shells you want and click on "notify me"; they'll send you an email when back in stock

Thanks Garth... When I looked this morning at 1:00 AM there was nothing available so I did as you suggested.

Karl: what, exactly, is the chamber length?
Using long shells in short chambers will raise the pressure.
Bells' study was 12g and the increase ranged from about 400 psi to 1200 psi.
It is here about 1/3 way down

I am not aware of any study of modern 16g or 20g shells.

And if the mouth of the shell enters the forcing cone, recoil will be increased.

We've had this discussion on the 16 gauge site, and a fella did some dumpster diving and measured the spent shell length of several brands. He reported that the Fiocchi shells were shorter than 2 3/4".
Possibly someone could measure some empties and report?
