Love my 16's. I have more 16's than any other gauge. My "go to" upland guns are either my 1913 Merkel S x S 16 gauge or my 1938 BSW (Simson) 16 gauge S x S. Also have a great 1938 BSW 16 gauge Over/Under, and a few more. I also joined the 16 gauge Society years ago to find good loading data. It's a very civil and helpful group of guys.
