I recently bought my first 16 gauge shotgun, this Russian Tula hammer side by side. It shoots great so far with some 1 ounce #6 loads that were given to me. I have ordered some loading components, a 6-point crimp starter to use on one of my other-gauge MEC loaders, and a roll crimp head for my drill press. I will probably roll crimp primarily, and I bought 1000 new primed Cheddite hulls, so I don't think I will even need a 16 gauge loader for quite awhile. Of course, if you know somebody with a cheap 16 gauge Lee Loader for sale, let me know. I'm addicted to Lee Loaders, and 310 tools. Too bad they never made a 310 tool for shotshells.
