16 Gauge Shoot

[Larryjk]

The 16 is really nice because it is usually much lighter than a 12 and has almost the same effeciveness. The problem has become the lack of shells in what should be 16 gauge loads. Most of the available loads are top loads to compete with the 12 gauge and those shells in a 16 are not comfortable to shoot. If a 16 is loaded with 1 oz. loades, they are a honey. Try a 16 ga. Winchester model 21 if you want to know what a beautifully balanced is like to shoot. They cetainly don't give them away.
