    Default 16 Gauge, 2 3/4 shells

    I have an old 16 gauge bolt action, magazine fed shotgun that takes 2 3/4 shells that I wanted to shoot. What would you guys suggest using for just plinking with a primary focus on being inexpensive? Where should I buy it from?

    Check Dick's. They have Remington Game loads that are not bad. Sometimes they have Winchester but cost more. 16's are fun.

    I bought a couple of boxes of 16ga. a month ago, I paid 8.50 a box. Inexpensive with be a problem for 16ga. I just had to take my old SxS out for a day...lol.

    I've bought them at Wal-Mart but it's been several years since I bought them and don't remember the price. I don't shoot my shotguns as much as I should so the dozen boxes that I have bought will last me quite awhile.
