Not including empty shells, the plastic wads are the only component unique to a 16 ga. All of the gunshops around central Virginia that carry reloading components at all carry both Winchester and Remington 16 ga. wads. Empty cases (at least for me) are not a problem, I just buy loaded rounds and shoot them the first time. Dick's Sporting Goods has for about the last month or so had 16 ga. Remington Game Loads in sizes 6, 7-1/2, & 8 for $5.99 a box. I did buy a case of them at that price.
