Brett, I've been shooting 2 1/2" 7/8oz. loads of bismuth out of several of my 16s with Longshot for a while. I use SG16 wads and a 6 point crimp, pressures slightly higher than yours but still sub 6K and with good variations, quicker and easier than roll crimping. Easy on wood and shooters alike. I discovered this fall my Browning Sweet 16 cycles them perfectly as well with the bushing set for "light" loads (was shooting 7/8 oz. lead at doves, my 16 ga. quail load). I also use the Longshot in my Damascus 10s and 12s for the low pressure and 1200 fps velocity.
