Awesome bird gauge, but shells can be hard to find sometimes.

Selection online is much better than in most brick and mortar stores...
ETA- if anyone needs links for ammo let me know...

It typically don't matter what the gun is, if I find a really good deal on it, I want to buy it. But I'd never go out of my way to buy a 16/20 ga. My dads buddy who owns a gun shop has always said don't spend a ton of money on a 20ga. If you are going to spend $1500 on an over and under, buy a 20 and just shoot a light load. A nice gun and a light load will kick just as nice as a 20ga.
In no way is this post trying to prevent you from buying that gun though. 16ga is a nice luxury bird gun no doubt.

I find that well proportioned, well balanced sub gauged guns (less than a 12) have a magic feel different from a 12. They tend to be lighter and point like a wand. They are a glorious thing to hold, carry and shoot…

Never shot one, but would love to have a nice matching set of the gauges
What kinda money are you talking about for occasional use?

Wick I need some 16 gauge shells to birdhunt with - I also need them to be bismuth so I can shoot them in a Belgian A5.

This with the sweet sixteen I have. In fact, it is the best fitting gun I own. I had two long guns custom fitted to me in 12 ga. Nice, but no way near how my Browning fits and feels.

I think bismuth is out of buisness, heavy shot might be your only option. There might be a few other shells out there but not many...
RST Shotgun Shells has a number of shells including some no-tox. They make a great shell, but I don't know if anything they have will cycle the A5.
Polywad has shells that will not cycle a auto
Fiocchi has some shells that will cycle, but not in no tox
16ga.com shell forum, if you reload, you can make your own no-tox.
B&P USA makes very good shells
Federal Shells has a steel shot
Able Ammo has a number of makers including Heavy Shot in 16 that should cycle the gun...

I've never seen someone abbreviate gauge like that before.

Well I ain't gonna hate on some magical feeling. I like magical feelings too. Not limited to guns though.

Thanks for the links. Will be ordering a couple cases today.

When I was growing up, the 16 ga was considered a gentleman's bird gun. The Sweet 16 was the ideal. I shoot mine for doves on the rare event that I get to go.
