cant tell you the best load for what you want but a bit of friendly advice from experince for 16 yard line use a 1150 load will help from developing a flinch but something that may help pick up a few birds even at the 25 use a modified choke unless your gun is like mine and a fixed full everyone told me to use a full when i got my new gun so i got a fixed choke it works great from the 27 but i did drop a few on 16
