Thanks Drew, the article on the 16 ga society is great.
I agree with Dave in that reloading is the way to achieve 16 ga perfection.
I have been a bird hunter for over 60 years and until ten years I had no desire or interest in the 16 ga.
My conversion came accidentally when I picked up a 16 ga SxS and after mounting and swinging the gun, I knew it was the gun for me. I tried the same gun in a 20 ga only to be disappointed and have happily been reloading and bird hunting with the 16 to the exclusion of all others.
