Jon- Like I said, mine were all asleep in the safe- no harm, no foul. Maybe one reason so few 16 ga shells are sold is cuz we're stingy, and like to roll our own. It's been five to seven years since I bought any new shells in 16.

Also, as has been bashed around before, you can stuff a ton o' lead in the smaller bores, but what happens to the patterns? Also, the most vicious kicking gun I ever had the displeasure to shoot was a 20. Reminded me of the short time I owned a 375 H&H.

Anyway, good thoughts, and I always enjoy your posts.
