I picked up a mild hoard of 16s yesterday. I fellow I used to work with finally aged-out and sold a number of his guns, including his Fox 16 about a year ago. He recently brought his accumulated collection of 16-gauge shells in to MW Reynolds to have them moved along. Everything from RST non-tox to a flat of William Larkin Moore marked 2 1/2 inch stuff, fiber wads and all. Shells at the local clubs are ranging in price from $8.75 to $18 a box (12 gauge only). Eventually, things will catch up again but I suspect 16s wont be commonly available for a while, thus my purchase of this lot. 12s and 20 will come back online first, well before the rest of the gauges return, but I suspect that $5 a box shells will be a thing of the past.
