I got some new ammo from Foxtrot for my 16 yesterday. Got out to pattern it. It is 2 3/4 # 9 with 1 7/8 oz load. I only had to fire one shot. I am very happy with it......will be in the field this spring....

That's a great combo, good looking rig and killer pattern to boot.

Thanks much......

Fantastic patterns, the gun looks great too. I know I used to have 16 gauge turkey loads from Federal in stock where I managed but I haven't seen any in years up here, I would love to add a 16 gauge to the collection and I can actually use it for turkeys as well.

I know but they do not ship out of country, and I have not found a single company up here that is making tss shells. I could always learn to roll my own, I have actually looked a few times for a decent 16 gauge the last year, lots of beat up cooeys and old guns, I want a newer gun. You did a great job with yours. Special gun for sure.

If I can load TSS shells, ANYONE can do it!! I loaded TSS BB for my son to hunt deer with! The hardest part is finding the components you need in stock!

Did you do the wrap yourself or send it off someplace?

Hi Dave, my wife helped me with a hair dryer. She is an artist, has very good skills trimming, and the patience of a saint. It looks like it was dipped. Be safe my friend.....

I love the look of that wrap. Is the material easy to work with? Do you need 2 people?
