Back before EBay banned all empty shotgun shell sales you could pickup some types of 16 hulls very reasonable. Not the compression formed AA which I have seen go for 25-30 cents each. But Remington Game loads, Federal purple hulls and even the odd lot of paper hulls. I had a seller in NY who sold Remington Game loads all the time. My best buy was mixed lot of 4,000 hulls which had about two hundred AA's in the mix. Shame EBay stopped the sales.
One thing I learned about 16's is to buy what ever hulls or wads you come across because some has a good load for them. The 16 ga. site has about a hundred low pressure loads so if you come across a hull or wad buy it. You find a use for it later.
