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.

I shoot several 16 gauge shotguns and never had a problem getting ammo. Wal-Mart off Fruitville Pike by Route 283 has 16 gauge ammo. I saw 16 gauge ammo at Kinsey's Outdoors in Mt. Joy and at Trop's in Elizabethtown. I reload so getting ammo in various loads is not a problem. All the best...

My Grandad died in 1973. So it goes. Thanks for the list of local ammo suppliers. I live in Ephrata. Years ago, I was with USAF in Illinois and found a bonanza of 16 gauge ammo so I bought 10 boxes of high & low base #6. That part of Illinois had many 16 shooters (pheasant & rabbit country) and local stores stocked it. TR
