This is not the first time 16g made in Australia has popped up on this site, at $8.00 a packet they are cheap compared to what Winchester want here in Aust, somewhere around $160.00 a flat and with the aussie dollar trading around .95us, it is reasonable to assume that we are somewhat disadvantaged here and why Winchester Aust is now a bit player in shotgun ammo in Australia, I personally wont buy any winchester product because they have always been at the forefront in upward price movement. There is a level of arrogance within Winchester here in Australia that is breathtaking when it comes to pricing.

Winchester ammo sucks, we all know that. Living on its memories.

Went and shot a bit of it today. Had about the same thump as the target 20ga stuff we were shooting. Hard to tell, because we are such PITIFUL shots, how well it really worked on the clays but I did try it on the pattern board out of both barrels.

On the board at least it did well. Nice even patterns out of both barrels.

Looks like the hulls have a two piece base wad to them so I am wondering about reloadability???
