You know your thread has finally "made the big time" when Keith's attacks on Jagermeister make an appearance.

Sweet gun Shinbone but I would invest in a reloading press if you don't already have one.

While I am getting close to pulling the trigger on rifle reloading, shotgun reloading is not in my near future. I will just use low-pressure loads from RST. That is an easy choice since it has the 2-1/2" chambers, anyway.

Unless you're going to run a lot of shells through that 16ga, going with RST's is a reasonable choice.

Shinbone, I have a super lightweight 16 gauge French guild gun with 2.5" chambers. I simply extended the forcing cones and I shoot 2.75" 1 ounce Estates or Federals through it. It kicks like hell but after several flats I've never had a problem.

Yea, but he has a thin spot in those barrels just forward of the forearm. A little to close to the chamber.
However way to beautiful of a shotgun to not have a name on it.

Rockdoc - Thanks for the suggestion and it would be nice to be able to shoot stuff I can find on the shelves at Walmart, but I think I will leave well enough alone and stick with 2-1/2" loads due to the .021" spot.

Don't forget that if you push the same amount of shot to the same velocity, the one with "Lowest max chamber pressure" is likely going to have a bit higher pressure down the bore where that thin spot is than one with a bit higher chamber pressure.
Once you get beyond round 4" to 6" from the breech actual bore pressures do not vary my much, regardless of the load.
To get the absolute lowest pressure down where that thin spot is use a light shot charge, lower velocity or both. Then use a load which gives the "Highest Chamber Pressure" compatible with the gun's proof.
