All my 16ga SxS's have 2.5in chambers so it's pretty much a reloading proposition. Thanks to the 16ga reloading forum, I use 7/8oz shot at 7K psi in these old guns. Gulandi 2.5in primed hulls from Graf & Sons have been the hull of choice, although some cut down AA's would be very excellent Cool

If new Remington hulls, they should call them "Shur Shot"s...there's a huge gap for them in the lineup right now! Smile

Mr. Hammack: Instead of treating these people like idiots and letting them flounder around in some silly guessing game, tell them what's up. They're big boys and will understand if it fails to evolve.

Patience grass-hopper....We are having fun with Charles and it would appear Jake you are the only one floundering here. Rolling Eyes

Best,

Ron, Maybe you are right. Could be that the guessing is part of the fun for some of you.

Jake, good last post, When I go fishing, I do not get a strike every cast, but the anticipation is worth the gas money. I do not know what Charles has in the brew, but he is excited and therefore, I am excited. BUT, I did secretly unwrap some of my gifts before Christmas :>)) Enjoy the day, Mike

Guessing? I'd say more like commiserating, hoping for some marveling...

I'd like to think that decision makers in the industry are reading our comments, and that if we make sense or can promote an alternative that they can swallow ($12.00 16AA's?), that maybe, just maybe, we can move forward with the gauge at a quicker clip. I'm proud of the improvements that I have seen in the time I have been reading the forum. I see some momentum(sp?) and either want to fan the flames or get out of its way.

I support the 16 gauge events idea. They don't have to be well attended at first, they just have to happen and the industry must find out about them. The events can be designed to pay for themselves, but will not likely generate enough revenue to do the marketing that is needed to bring our cause to the forefront.

I'd be willing to bet that there are members and interested parties that would like to donate (provided that 16GS provides a tax status that allows write-offs) to an ad campaign, so that might be the way to go.

If you think about it, on the clay course the 16 can do everything the 12 and 20 can do. So it stands to reason a 16 is an excellent all around clays gun, if only ammo availability and cost were alleviated.

I am sure it's going to be a Benelli SBE or a Beretta ExtremaII chambered in the all new 3 1/4 " 16 ga Magnum.

I am a new member to the 16 gauge society. I have viewed the posts over the last several weeks and am excited about how much interest there is on so many issues especially what Charles is working on. I have been out of the loop on shooting for several years and have loved the 16 gauge throughout the years. Hopefully, I will be able to contribute to the discussions (in an intelligent way) and to contribute to the efforts the Society.

Charles I cant decide if you are more of an exhibitionist or a voyuer, but you sure get off on drawing attention
