The Sixteen Gauge Manual

The 16 Gauge Manual is long recognized as a vital guide for anyone who decides to make the most of this oft-overlooked gauge. Our latest edition revision includes all of our ballistic lab's technical developments. We've included a handy parts and firearms source guide, an ammo log, and new non-toxic and slug loads. Like other BP manuals, the data focus is on our proprietary components. Primary hulls utilized in the load data are the widely-available and commercially supplied hulls, such as Cheddite, Fiocchi, and Rio. The world's most complete sixteen-gauge ammunition guide.

Loads:

*Lead Shot = 375 loads
*Bismuth shot = 35 loads
*BPX-12.0 Devastator shot = 8 loads
*Hevi-Shot (orig.) shot = 9 loads
*SpheroTungsten 15.0 = 7 loads
*STSS/TSS 18.0 shot = 5 loads
*Steel shot = 25 loads
*Buckshot (lead) loads = 14 loads
*Slug (DGS16 & Thug Slug 16) = 27 loads

And our library is always growing. Every manual is bigger and better than the last edition.

INDUSTRY WRITERS AND OUR CUSTOMERS ON The Sixteen Gauge Manual:

• "My article on the 16-gauge shotshell was just published in the current (Oct. 2024) issue of Shooting Times and your company and products got plenty of ink.  Among other things, I mentioned The 16-Gauge Manual and also included 10 loads from it with lead, bismuth and steel shot as well as the BPI slug.  You guys did a great job on that manual."
  -Layne Simpson, Shooting Times magazine
