I feel that Remington is going Pink in color real soon , again . The RGL is not listed in the new years line up .
Those that like the RGL Hull perhaps should contemplate a purchace when and where they can.
Regards Charles |

Yeah--I knew this was going to happen.They had to ruin a good thing.This hull is widely adaptable to most loads and lasts .I guess Big Green plans on making their money with the STS hull--of which we will NEVER see a 16 gauge  |

WHAT????? No RGLs this year? That's my trap and sporting clays round.
I've got some stashed away but what to do when they are gone? |

I'm confused. What does "going pink" mean?
I take it you have seen a 2008 dealer price list or catalog and the 16 gage Game Load is not listed?
Was the Express Load listed or has Remington discontinued the 16 altogether?
Or is Remington importing 16 ammo and discontinuing U.S. Production? |

Me too and it's updated as there are New for 2008 items on it.
Let's not start some kind of panic with unsubstantiated rumors.  It will only cause another run on the RGLs and I can't take the competition.  |

ROFLMAO, considering it comes from the biggest shell hoarder, Mike Campbell being the only other serious contender, among us! Good god, man, you've got more 16 ga shells in stock than most big-box sports stores and probably the entire Dick's chain. The only thing I can say is ... I'm buying more GLs, need 'em right right now or not.
My decision on flats of 16 is still influenced by, "TJC would go ahead and buy these, so I guess I'd better get 'em before they find their way to his house."
Darn it man, you've become a market force! |

 I'm down to 43.5 flats of RGLs and 8 flats of Federal GLs. 
Maybe I should get hold of my "Ace in the hole" and tell him I need another 20 flats ASAP.
Can't wait to meet up with Pudelpointer so I can clean my basement out of "his" empty RGLs. Must be about 5-6K down there. |

| I'm not sure of RGL, but I use the remington black hulls , if that's what they are. I find them a nice shell to reload. At least I bought all of the 16 gauge remingtons I found in stores up here. I've bought them all within 50 miles of me. I should say all for $5.00 a box or less. I found some for $10.99 and $13.99. Skipped on them. |

Bingo. RGL = Rem Game Load = Black Hull. One and the same. I better clean out the local Wally World while I have a little change in the pockets. |

| I still don't know what "going pink" means and I still don't know where Charles got his info Remington was dropping the 16 Game Load. |

| I found 6 boxes of remington game loads for $5.00 a piece, so I bought all of them. Wal mart up here doesn't even stock 16 gauge. |
