16 Gauge Ammo Prices

The gauge that connoisseurs swear by and the market keeps trying to forget. The 16 sits between the 12 and the 20 and its devotees insist it carries a load and swings like nothing else, the sweet spot of the shotgun world. For decades it faded under the 12 and 20 and yet it refuses to die because the people who love it truly love it. A quiet classic with a devoted following. The thinking upland gunner's bore.

Loads run mostly birdshot with a thinner selection than the big two. Priced above the 12 with fewer promotional deals. The 16-gauge faithful buy whenever their loads appear and stock deep because it never floods the shelves.
