Does anyone know where I can buy some 16 GA 1-1/4 ounce factory loads - my preference is 4-shot ? |

I appreciate being made aware.
Actually I was hoping to find traditional lead sot loads.
I know Federal made some up to fairly recently.
Winchester did too, but I don’t know how long ago they stopped producing them. |

I do not believe anyone is making a 1 1/4 oz 16 right now.
Old Winchester, Federal, versions come up for sale on gunbroker sometimes and I have brought them that way, but they don’t do anything more for me than a good 1 1/8 load |

The Federal Pheasants Forever shells come with 1-1/8 oz No. 4 shot as well as 5 and 6. The velocity is right up there at an advertised 1425 fps. |

I recently bought a mixed case of 16ga shells from a shop in Wichita. Included are two full boxes of Remington Magnum Express loads 3 1/2-11/4-4shot. Definitely long before the steel shot mandate. I will not use them in my LC Smith guns or any other for that matter. |

I have no way to post photos and don't know how to do it. I haven't taken a photo since my bear hunt to Ontario in 2000 and that a long time ago |

At my local fleet store today.
That’s 18 boxes of 1 1/4oz #4 on the left.
Some 1 1/8oz #5 on the right. |
