Brent,
You might have just opened Pandora's Box.
One small piece of info that no one is telling you, from all accounts, Nick doesn't miss no matter what load is in the shotgun.
You're a new g ... |

Hodgdon insists on using Longshot with the SP16 wad in some loads, which is not a good idea in a straight wall hull. That combination does work well in the Remington RGL hull.
The OP said SG16, no ... |

Last night, he loaded his first shells. We used some Winchester plastic (not WinAA) hulls, the SG16 wads 23 grs of Longshot, 1 1/8 oz of #5, and a roll crimp. These are not going to be his do-all-to ... |

The world is not friendly to 16s it seems. I found 100 Federal paper cases in my basement in mint condition (1 shot though). So what sorts of recipes exist for them?
NONE
Not in Alliant, Hodgdo ... |

Brent,
You can do anything you want.
I will tell you that in 95% of the applications subbing an SG16 for an SP16 will cause more chamber pressure, sometimes 500 PSI and sometimes 2,000 PSI. I h ... |

I have been tempted by the SP16 to SG16 substitution. The loads I'm looking at are relatively low (sub 9k psi) and the gun is a strong one (Sauer in very good condition). Also, we will be roll crimp ... |

MSM, thanks for the reply. I think we will have to go with the Longshot. Down the road, I believe he should go for the SP16 wad (is that a straight wall or tapered wad?).
There are many more SP16 ... |

Nope. I don't shoot them well when I get the barrels oriented properly. |

Would be a hell of a wrestling match for it. That's a mighty nice gun. I'd love to stumble across something like it. |

This has a straight grip, but other than that, this excellent 2.75" Costo BLE would make a fantastic bird gun, and reasonably priced. Even has a retractable sling. Yummy.
Thanks for po ... |

No, it didn't work out, but it was fun and worthwhile. I don't regret it. The only way to learn about these things is to buy one. It's not like one will ever appear on the range that I could try or ... |
