Plenty of DR16 wads and SG16's and some Remington wads as well.
Unique and Longshot powder. Dad uses Win Super Target but he is out at the moment.
And a whole mess of Fiocchi (with fiocchi primers in them) and a bunch of empty federal purples unprimed, Winchester/Cheddites unprimed, and a handful of the crusty black RGL empties unprimed.
Federal, CCI (not mag), and Win 209 primers.
I have a good 1 oz load for the Cheds, Win209, and Unique with the sg16. I don't have a good recipe for the RGL, Federal, or Fiocchis. I can find something in the Sweet 16 Manual or my Lymans manual for them though.
What I really need is some good loads for these DR16 wads I have. They aren't in either of my manuals and I am striking out looking online.
Doesn't need to be low pressure. Would prefer something 3/4-1oz. |

I have forgotten how to access all of the 16GA loads on this site, but someone will help you, maybe SPR10.  |

| Try the Hodgdon data center I have used their Longshot data with satisfaction. |

Spreadsheet, just what I needed.
Wish it had more steel and no-tox loads on it though.
Why are the steel factory load 15/16 oz and most reloads are 3/4 or 7/8 at most? Why is there not a wad available to reloaders to get that extra 1/16 of an oz? |

| if anyone wants to compare the old herters wads to say the vp-80 , I can send them some as I probably have 1800 of them . 2 slit unsevered and I would say plenty thick enough . |
