Have used the Polywad Vintager Doublewide loads in my 12 ga 1919 specialty grade with great results. The doublewides have Polywad's spreader discs in them so they make the pattern larger right out of the barrel. Shot skeet with them and scored 20 of 25 first time out with the Elsie. If they have the Doublewides in 16 ga, I would urge you to give them a try.
