Checked the browning ammo site this morning and they have released info on their new line. It includes 2 new 16g loads. Both are 2 3/4" as expected and there is one target load and one upland load (no new waterfowl load sadly). One is 1oz #8 at 1165fps and the other is 1 1/8oz nickle plated #6 at 1295fps.
The information I want now is what hull they are loaded into. The head stamps that I've seen had the browning logo on them for the 12 at least so possibly they developed new hulls but we'll see if that holds true for the 16.
I was hoping for a decent waterfowl load to go with the new sweet 16 but I'm just happy they are offering any 16 gauge loads at all. |

| I was happy to see the target load. A waterfowl load would have been nice too, but maybe that will be added down the line if the Browning Ammunition sells well. |
