Factory 16 guage option

[Mike of the Mountain]

1 oz at 1165 is very reasonable especially at 7500 FPS or less. I shoot Fiocchi factory shells too and they break birds. I reload 2 3/4" and 2 1/2" 16g hulls. I use Green Dot, Unique and Longshot. All make soft shooting 1 oz loads and they stone pheasants even in the 2 1/2" hulls. Only reason I load 2 1/2" hulls is because I have so many of them. Plenty of recipes for both hull sizes.
