| BP SG16 wads have been out of stock for sometime. Has anyone tried the Gualandi 16ga wad? They seem to look alike. Thanks |

| Precision reloading has one version in stock right now; they call them the "Super G Mini" and yes they are made by Gualandi. They also have the B&P International Supersonic which is the same wad Ball. Prod. calls the "Z-16". |

Pretty sure I got this right....
BP16 = Gualandi BRG16/21 = PR TUWG2116
BP16S = Gualandi BRG16/18 = PR TUWG1816
Seemingly identical at ten paces, the secret sauce is in the obturating cup, BP16s has tabs = sits lower in the powder for more head space/payload in the loaded shell. BP16 has tiny posts = sits higher on the powder for less head space/payload in the loaded shell. |

^^^^^Exactly^^^^^
These Gualandi wads are imported when Gualandi has room in a container and either Precision Reloading or BPI or both have placed an order. |

| Grafs and sons usually stock Gualandi wads. You should buy them in bulk when they have them and $9/flat shipping. |
