OP Steve Lawson Sidelock Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 659 South Carolina	Where can I find low pressure 16 Gauge ammo in 2 9/16" for my older 16 gauge guns? I figure it won't hurt to shoot those shells even if the chamber is 2 3/4" in my Flues and Baker as well as in my French 16 bore. Thanks

I love those RST 16s, shoot nothing else. Morris and Alex will be at the Southern in April. rstshells.com

Probably try them out before too long. I have shot the Polywad, Gamebore, and the 67mm Eley shells. They all seem to work fine on birds, but I suspect the Eley's are a bit higher pressure the others mentioned. Cameron Hughes

However, I was provided with a chart of pressures by the proprietors, and they were quite conservative. I'm sure they will provide the pressure information on request.
