Default 16 gauge bismuth duck with fiber wad load?

Hey guys, this is my first post... I recently acquired a Winchester 1897 in 16 gauge and would like to hunt ducks and upland with it this fall. The older I get, the more the old wood and iron war horses appeal to me... Wondering if some of you would share some of your traditionally loaded 16 gauge waterfowl loads. I'm thinking in that 3/4 to 1 oz payload... If you have a plastic wad load you've had good luck with, please share those as well. Excited to be apart of the forum!

Bismuth I assume? Remington hulls are good to reload or cheditte. I started with Remington because in my area that’s the most common 16. After a run in followed by a science experiment with a Texas game warden I decided to get hulls that already had Bismuth printed on them to sooth their savage souls when looking through empties. Lots of Lowe pressure loads out there. Hodgdon has a pretty good recipe book on line, that’s where I found mine. If I wasn’t lazy I would go dig a few up I got from them written in my notes. Keep the pressure low.
