Buzz, you will find that if you don't reload, the factory 1 oz stuff you buy at WalMart etc will probably have more recoil than you like. Reloading, as suggested above, is the way to go if you're going to shoot targets regularly with a 16. The problem there is that components are more expensive and harder to come by, and reloading down to 7/8 oz--which is a piece of cake with a 12 and readily-available components--often requires tinkering with some sort of filler, etc.
That being said, they are indeed great upland guns.
