| that wad is a long column wad for light loads in 2-3/4" hulls. I would be surprised if it fit very well in a short 16ga hull. |

I load this standard 2 3/4" loading in the cheddite hull cut down to 2.5" and it fold crimps fine.
7/8 oz
International
15.8 gr
Win 209
DR 16
1150
6200
These are according to the spreadsheets on the vel and pressure. You can also roll crimp this with no changes.
Hope that helps you.
