Picked up a couple of boxes of Nobel Sport, #6's 1350fps at local dealer.
He has a few more, will pick up couple more boxes today. That will get me through prairie chicken season with some left for pheasants.
Hoarding my stash of Federals, B&P's and Bismuth for the Dakotas.

Hootch,

Not sure if you reload or not, but IMO the half flat of Nobel Sports I bought over ten years ago turned out to be one of the best of the "European" straight-walled hulls I have reloaded. Have lost a lot in the weeds over the years while hunting, but still reloading quite a few of them today. No "brass" splits whatsoever, and very few crimp splits. Perhaps the quality is the same today.

You will need to find Rio primers that are slightly larger than standard 209's.

I've shot plenty of Nobel Sport shells over the years. Used to get them cheap by the pallet. I've always liked them.

I use Nobel Sport 209 primers all the time and have for years. They have the same burn rate as Win 209 primers.

I just picked up a case of 16ga NSI from a club member who found them in his basement. Cheapest shells I've bought in a while!
Understanding that I favor the purple Federals, and that the NSI's are straight-walled hulls:
What wads are recommended for a 1oz load in the NSI's?
Can I use W209 primers or am I on a search for Nobels?

Thanks

The sg-16 or sg-16s from either BPI or Precision is the was your looking for. It’s actually the same was they load from the factory at least on the one or two I cut open.
