Tony,
Probably not what you're looking for, but I have plenty of SP16's if that will help tide you over until you find some R16's.
And i'd likely be interested in a couple thousand R16's if you do place an order.
Rob has my contact info...let me know.

The last shippment of R16 wads i got last year cost me $186 for 5000 wads. That works out about 4 cents a wad. That bidding at $30 is cheap if thats what they go for.

Those was have been overpriced from the outset and it is no surprise their sales have been dismal. It is crazy to pay that much for a 16ga wad. There are many other options, not the least of which is to add a styrofoam disk to the bottom of a Rem SP16 wad that you can buy at a gun show for $3-5 a bag. |

Grafs is currently selling SP16s for 10.99 per 250. Exactly twice as much as the Gualandi.

Midway is selling the SPs for 9.99 per 250 but their freight is a killer. |

The best price that I've seen on Remington wads is at Recob's. Same for the Claybusters. |

Since you can substitute the WAA16 for the R16, why not just order the WAA16 clone?
