Be aware that the Cheddite papers are in no way comparable to the old American papers. They're pretty fragile and all will split on the second firing, many on the first. They seem to be made of card ...

Lee used to list Red Dot as useable in the 16 with 1 oz shot. They now show it only for 7/8 oz. I used the old recipe for years to shoot skeet in a beater Sweet Sixteen without a problem. No reason ...

Your pal could candle the shells in question and compare them with a normally crimped one. Might show if the wad or the powder level differs between them.

I use the large Ocean Spray cranberry juice bottles, the ones with the white attached handles. They easily hold 25 lbs shot. I mark the shot size on the top of the caps.

I reload for my 16 ga. Prefer the Blue Claybuster. Same as the DR 16?

The blue Claybuster is a Winchester WAA16 clone suitable for 1 oz and 1-1/8 oz loads. Claybuster also makes a pink wad with ...

I shoot four rounds of skeet a week with my reloads consisting of 3/4 oz shot in the DR wad. When I learned that DR was going under, I ordered a case from Grafs. With what I already had in stock, th ...

As some ancient Greek has said, "De gustibus non est disputandum" -- which translates to ""there can/should be no dispute of someone's taste or preference".

I heard this a couple weeks ago and ordered a case of DR-16s from Graf's. Got them today and noticed that they're white, not blue. A note in the bags verified that my eyes were not deceiving me.

The local IWLA has a winter league, which runs for 12 weeks, January to April. Trap and skeet alternate week to week. There are 28 teams with six shooters on each team. It's very popular. For the ...

Cheddite primed paper hulls currently in stock at BP. For those who prefer to let them fly in the woods.

I'm currently loading 14 grains of Perfect Pattern under 3/4 oz shot in a DR-16 wad. Crimps are dished enough so that I've taken to dropping a sugar pop cereal puff on top before precrimping. No ide ...

The 16 gauge action bar will interchange with the 20-gauge only if the 20 is built on the 12-gauge frame. It is not the same as the later 20 gauge built on the LW frame.

Got my copy yesterday. Went to the 16-gauge recipes and what do I see for one-ounce loads in Fiocchi hulls but 19 grains of Green Day powder. That cannot possibly be an innocent typo.

Getting this in late. 837.

Has anyone used WST in the 16? I reload mostly 3/4 and 7/8 oz for practice and haven't been able to restock my usual powders (Red Dot/Promo and Clays) for those loads. I did find a jug of WST which ...
