I would like to start loading shells for my 16 gauge 1100 and but I'm not sure were to find hulls and wads.
Also any advice for hull/wad combinations would be welcome. |

Recommend you buy loaded ammunition such as Winchester SuperX or Remington Game load for your initial stock of hulls. Starting with a preformed crimp will save you some headaches in the long run. Powder and primers are best purchased locally because if you order them in the shipper will tack on a $20.00 hazardous materials handling fee. It is best to buy your shot locally becase shipping will be expensive.
Graf and Sons in Mexico, Mo http://www.grafs.com/ has about the best prices and shipping rates for wads.
I really recommend that you join the 16 gauge loaders group by sending RW Gray (he posts here as RWG) a private message. The group has reloading data not available anywhere else and you will get the $20.00 joining fee back many times over on the testing of new loads. |

That sucks. First the stimulus package, next universal health care and no Social Security and now this. I guess we had better get used to it and patronize our local components dealers. |
