I was a little afraid of that sort of thing. I know a good stock fitter in my area, but I'm going to use someone in their network. It shouldn't make any difference, but what the heck.

I think I'll be placing an order for a 20ga Venus yet this weekend.
Once you add up the extras to get the Zuess where you want, the Venus is pretty close I think. Hope to have it by Nov.

ALL Federal 16 ga. hulls currently are paper based.
If you have 800-X that is an excellent choice for 1 1/8 oz. loads. Follow the Hodgdon data, it is a great choice.

I have 800-x and some 20/28, and I'd like to use some purple, Federal "game load" hulls.

I had a 1 1/8 oz load tested, turned out slightly over on pressure. You could drop half a grain of powder or go with your 1 1/16 oz shot to bring in into line. I used the Cheddite case and the so call ... |

You can get to 1300 FPS with an 1 1/8 oz. load and 800-X.
I have a 1270 FPS 1 1/8 oz. load using 800-X. 1 1/8 oz. fits perfectly in a Federal hull using the SP-16.
What's up with 1 1/16 oz?

As stated by others....it depends on the kind of hunting you're doing. Over pointing dogs, you really want a fairly open choke. IC/ mod are just fine...and you get go more open if you want. My go-t ... |

Are there any loads utilizing Red Dot for 7/8 or 1 oz 16 ga? I use Red Dot for my 12 ga trap loads and it would be convenient to use it for 16 ga target or sporties loads.
thanks.
