I have an old 870 wingmaster in 16 and a winchester model 12 in 16ga. My dad and my brother each have a model 1100 16 ga. We have been reloading 16's for years and haven't any problems with getting wads. Although I must admit to laziness for the past several years, I haven't reloaded anything. I love the 16 though, too bad we have to use steel for ducks now days.
