I cleaned out a closet and found 400 downrange DR16 wads and 400 Remington R16 wads I am looking for some load data for these. I have black rem. game load plastic base hulls and Winchester CF & PF hulls
I am looking for about 1200 FPS and under 9000 PSI as I use these in old side by side shotguns.
Can someone lead me to some load data as I can not find any
Thanks RES
for powder i have HS6,logshot,win572 |

| Check out HS6. I'M not in the area of my loading room but there's loads for that. I don't recall if it was for 3/4 or 1 oz. Been awhile since I've loaded it but I liked it. |

| A few months back results were posted of using Perfect Pattern for 7/8oz loads at around 7000psi. I loaded some RP hulls and also some cheddite hulls with 14gr of PP and enjoyed excellent shooting in my vintage doubles. In the RP hulls I used claybuster AA16 7/8oz wads and in the cheddie hulls I used SG16 wads. The cheddite hulls are trimmed to 2 5/8 for my vintage guns and the loads crimped perfectly. |

A bunch available of what you're looking for on the Hodgdon reload site. But be patient, sometimes it takes a little bit to open.
https://hodgdonreloading.com/rldc/
click on...shotgun->16ga->hull type->powder choice->etc.....you'll get the idea. |
