thank you 16GAwaterfowler. That's info I sure didn't know.

Byrdog, will the scotch tape gunk up the barrel?

I learned to hunt with a 410 bore.

I'm pretty familiar with having to get in pretty close Wink

But I also have hunted long enough to know that doesn't always work as planned.

Until you mentione ...

Yeah, sorry.

I was talking about getting the wads for 12 gauge, but also interested in doing the same for the 16's.

But I do like the links you sent for the 16. I have a ton of sp16 wads, but a ...

Thanks for the help and especially the photos.

I've been doing some testing with various wads. Some of my guns pattern better with certain wads over another.

That does have to do with the c ...

Thanks for the replies gentlemen.

I kinda figured that Federal was keeping them close to their wallet but the patent will eventually age out allowing others to copy them just like generic acetamino ...

Though checking it with a set of calipers, is considerably tighter constriction and would be an improved modifi ...

While I truly enjoy hunting with my 16 gauge single shot, if it weren't for sentimental reasons, there really is no advantage to a 16 over anything else.

I would like nothing more than to see more ...

I load them a little hotter then the black for longer sporting clay shots, by just looking at the color tells me what load I am shooting

I do the same thing.

But I use the green for the light lo ...

Dave in AZ, Thank you for the reply.

I apologize for the delayed response. For some reason, email notifications were going to my spam box, but I have fixed that now.

I hadn't planned on loading ...

Are the purple federal and the purple herters hulls the same?

I have nowhere local to buy powders and/or primer, so as bad as I hate it, I usually have to order it and feel like I need a shower after almost $40 or $50 in shipping fees.

That's why I normally m ...
