Know what you mean about Colorado being a "fur" state. But there is hope, at least if you venture north of Denver.

Gunsport in Boulder has Fiocchi, B&P and my new favorite Clever Mirage. Cheaper than Fiocchi and after shooting a box the bores are clean, unlike Fiocchi. Gunsport also has some 16 ga. guns.

If you get up to Fort Collins Jax Outdoors has quite a bit of 16 ga. ammo. Best prices on Fiocchi I've seen, Also have Kent and some others. Don't really stock any 16 ga. guns though.

Also a place in downtown Loveland, can't remember the name though.

Both Federal and Estate are made in the same factory in Anoka, MN. Are the hulls the same? Yes in some cases, no in others. Federal makes a bunch of different 12ga hulls (including paper). 16's . . . I've never shot any 16ga Estates, so I can't tell you for sure on those. I can tell you that the new Fed High Velocity Game Loads (7/8 oz) appear to be in the same hull as the old Fed High Power (1 1/8 oz loads), both purple high brass. However, the High Powers are 6 point crimp, the Game Loads 8.

Interesting. The Fall Cabela's Shooting & Reloading catalog arrived today and the Fiocchi Golden Pheasant 16g 1 and 1/8 load is now listed as available ONLY in 5s (last catalog was only 6s) I think that is a better choice but what is available at the stores?

rev,
The only 16 ga Golden Pheasants I've come across at Cabela's has been the 5's. They are suppose to be available in 4's this year but I have not seen anyone offer them yet.

In the Denver area, Garts is being rebadged to Sports Authority Hc


What's up with that, anyway? Same thing here. Garts (or Gart Bros., as I still call them, being an old f*rt) used to be a wonderful company; the downtown Denver store (on Broadway, I think) was awesome! They opened up in Wichita a few years ago, and it was the typical big box mentality: try to do everything, therefore don't do any of it well. I was in the local "Sports Authority" recently and it looks even worse. Too bad.
