Has anyone a recipe for using WSF in 16 gauge?
I can find 12 gauge loads and 20 gauge loads, I think there should be 16 gauge information out there.\Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Pete

My pet pheasant load in 16 gauge is:

Old WW compression formed hull
AA16 wad
WW209 primer
18.8 gr/WSF
1 1/8 oz magnum #6

I have a stash of the older components, and make no recommendations of interpolation with other hulls and wads.

These function extremely well, work in very cold weather, throw great patterns in my guns. Check available data independent of this; this is just what I use and have been successful with.

Thanks for the responses, I appreciate the recipe for the load GF1. I should have mentioned that I was looking for a one ounce target load.
Thank you very much, Pete
