Reloading 2 1/2" 16ga isn't much more difficult than loading 2 3/4" 12ga. I have a MEC 600s with 2 1/2" adaptors and can knock out my loads quickly. Most of my 16s are 2 1/2" and I use that size in my 2 3/4s also. I use nothing but 2 1/2" in all my 12s too.


After the first shot the rest are just noise.
