Anyone know what is going on at the 16 gauge society website. I wanted to join to get the load data for my wife's "new" 16 ga Damascus LC Smith but the website says no new memberships.
I need some low pressure 16 ga loads
Love the 16, shoot several all the time, but this is the first Damascus 16 I (we) own

The gentleman that ran the site died a while back. Family is probably trying to decide what route to take.

The folks over at 16ga.com and the family are working through it. http://www.16ga.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17476 My guess is it's likely to take a while yet. In the meantime, if you want some low-pressure loads, they can be gotten. I've forgotten my password to the reloading info but I'll bet skeettx or some of the other members there and here haven't.

If you tell me what components you have I have a lot of recipes.
And how low did you want to go?

Jerry,
Hogdon's has some low pressure loads on their site that were tested some time and were published in, i think, Skeet Shooting. There were some not long ago listed in Shotgun World in the reloading forum. Hope this helps.

Jerry Until you find the load data for low pressure 16 gauge loads, go to ... http://www.rstshells.com/store/m/3-16-Gauge.aspxYou can be shooting in a few days. Model2128Ga

I have federal,noble sport, and a few cheddite and Winchester
Will soon have a bunch of Heters (cheddite?)
Lots of BP wads. Lots of standard powders like universal,green dot, herco and still holding 7625. A few others two
I also logged on to skeetx's recommended site
Thanks for all the help
