Looking to get back into loading some 16 ga shells. I quit when the herters flats were about 69 bucks but I have now just about shot through all of them. Cant find anything cheap enough to not justify reloading some lead dove and skeet loads. I am also about out of my boss bismuth loads for duck hunting and they seem to be out of 16 ga at the moment.
Is there any load data for bismuth using Cheddite and Winchester compression hulls? I have bismuth load data for Federal, Fiocchi, and Remington hulls, however I have an abundance of cheddite hulls and have a few compression hulls left as well.
Im not as picky about powder, I need to get more anyway as im about out of the Longshot I was using. I currently have a few Win209 primers but can order whatever I need if its available. I believe I have some sg16 wads and some remington wads.

Order a Lyman #5 manual, several bismuth loads. It doesn't list the Cheddite hull, but does have the Winchester plastic with plastic basewad which is a Cheddite. Compression formed hull is listed also.

I'll order one if its got the bismuth data. I was afraid it wouldn't have it and the last 16ga book of loads I bought only had lead, steel, and itx.
Thanks for letting me know.
