Been shooting a lot more clays this year. My son has decided he wants to shoot more so we been trying to shoot a least once a week.
So average 300 16ga reloads a week. All 7/8oz with the dr16 wad.
I've got about 2500 left, so looking forward and hoping for a new supply. |

I only reload for one shotgun gauge, the 16. I do reload for many rifle cartridges and have for near 50 years. My 16's are a M12, 11-48 and a Citori. The learning curve for me was very short as I was able to turn out very nice reloads almost immediately. My only regret is that I didn't start reloading the 16 sooner.

Things move slowly:
I am having Kevin ship the mold directly to Ron at Claybuster wads.
When this gets done it gets done .
Perhaps before everyone runs out of wads the mold will be in service at it's new home.
Back to canning Turkey Broth , frying Suckers and mashing Sweet potatoes for lunch.
Can't wait for Memorial day when Squirrels come in season.
Young fried squirrel 🐿️, mmmm

So glad to hear this news.
And “Young fried squirrel 🐿️, mmmm”.
Are you ever bringing back good memories of an Ozark childhood. |

Nick, do you have any update on this? I called Claybuster today and inquired about them having the DR16 mold. The gentleman I spoke to had no knowledge of the mold and told me he didn't forsee any new 16 gauge wad development in the future |

| When Kevin gets around to sending the mold it will be in Claybusters possession. |

I pretty much only use the DR16, and I’m down to about four bags. I also have some Claybuster 1 oz wads, but only one or two bags.
