Not that I've ever seen or heard of. The AA was introduced in 12-gauge trap loads, and 12- and 20-gauge skeet loads in 1965. In the 1970 catalog they introduced the AA .410-bore skeet load, and in the 1971 catalog it states the AA 28-gauge skeet load would be available May 1971. I looked through everything I have from 1965 to 2011 and no 16-gauge AA.

Dave;
Any idea of when the SuperX Mark5 load came out? I believe it was in that same time period. (mid 60's to late 70's?)

The Mark 5 shot collar was introduced on the Winchester Super-Speed and Western Super-X in 1962.

Thanks Dave. You truly are a fountain of knowledge.
As the commercial goes "we live and breath this stuff". That's you.

Fond memories of those red and yellow Xpert boxes from the early 60's. Sitting on a bar stool in my grandfather's basement. He'd let me stuff the shells in the boxes when he reloaded. I'm sure he couldn't have done it without a 6 year old grandson underfoot.

From the 1930s into the early 1950s our ammunition companies offered 16-gauge Skeet Loads.

I've been loading 7/8 oz. 16 gauge loads with 14 grains of Red Dot for the past few years. I knew that there were factory loads using Red Dot years ago but never had one to take apart to weigh the powder charge. Does anyone here know what the old factory charge weight was?

These are the ones that surprise me, 28-gauge loaded with Red Dot --
