16 guage low pressure/powder loads

**cruzans** · February 27th, 2010, 10:01 PM

Anyone know where to find 16 guage shotgun shells in low pressure load or black powder load ? I just picked up a 100yr + old coach gun and it was recommended by a few on the shotgun thread that I might want to only shoot this kind of ammo through it ! I would like to get some online, or in the Harrisburg area - any thoughts ?
Thanks !

What shot size are you looking for?

Field loads like those used for dove and clays would be within pressures. The ones you'd have to stay away from are higher "dram" loads packaged with buckshot and slugs, typically with high brass. (brass height isn't a true denotation of pressures and powers)

Looking for anything really, just want for recreational shooting/fun. Want them for that coach gun, thought I'd try the ammo site to see if anyone knew where to find them.

Only place I've ever been able to find any sort of 16 guage ammo is at Dick's. I about passed out when I found one that had 50 or 60 boxes of 16 guage at $4 per box. And this was the only time I had ever seen anything other than Remington 7 shot in 16 guage. I had a choice between the usual 7 shot or 6 1/2 shot so i picked two boxes of each.
