What's available for 16 guage reloading components?

Having just acquired a 16 guage model 12 I'm starting to hunt down loading equipment. I noticed that it is not too difficult to buy reloaders for 16 guage, however, I don't see a whole lot of reloading accesories available. Where is the best place to find this stuff? Also, are there any paper hulls still available for the 16 guage, I remember Federal was making paper shells for the 12 guage some time ago but never knew if they made them for other guages as well. Thanks.

Both of these are high dollar reloading component providers. Sort of the "Brownells" of the reloading world.

Try Midway also. Sorry, I'm a techno-dunce and do not know how to imbed the link.

Gamaliel might have something also.

This month's edition of Shooting Sportsman magazine has a list of what is available in 16 ga shotshells. Federal only lists plastic hulls.

The good news is that 14 different manufacturers make 16 ga shells!

The Shooting Sportsman's BBS has a group of dedicated 16 gauge shooters who are up to date on component availability and will be able to help.

Thanks I checked out the sites and found what I needed. Still looking for paper hulls, but the plastic will do for now. Thanks again.
