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?
