Thanks guys!!!

gunny, what type gun do you intend to shoot these in?
Something like the A5 will withstand high pressure ,11-11,500#, loads. Others, like my Husqvarna Mod 20 are limited to 8000#.

Hi Cowboy,
I will shoot them from an early 1960's vintage Winchester Model 12.

That rst website lists "A5 type" and a lower pressure "lite" shells. You should have no troubles with either. If you notice, most makers of short shells don't offer shot sizes
bigger than #5. Believe this is to put less strain on the chokes {barrels} of old guns.

You should be fine with any of the high pressure loadings Bill.
Those on the RST site as well as the Gamebore offered by Blistic Products.

I can't comment on where you might find slugs and buck shot, if they're even available. I load all of my own shotgun ammo these days.

If you're at all interested in reloading take a look around the BP site you'll find loading equipment, manuals and components. They even have a manual dedicated to the 16 with several pages of load recipes for the 'short' cartridge.
