I used to reload 16 ga with a MEC Jr,. I have moved up to Mec 9000 in 12 and 20 gauges.
If I can figure out a load my, wife will let me buy the 9000 in 16ga.
I have:
1000+ Herter hulls -once fired, all purchased 5+ years ago
Green Dot and Unique powders
Win 209 and Cheddite primers
DR16 and SG16 wads.
Thanks for your help.

Bob,
What will you have to buy your wife in return??
Cheddite primers
DR wads and no wad pressure
14.0 to 16 grains of Green Dot depending on how much recoil you want.
