Dosn't list many 16 gau loads now , and non with Red Dot
Green Dot yes

Hodgdon.com will probely not list any with clays as it is probely to fast also

I am not at home , but I remember both the older Lyman shot shell manual and some of the older free Herules ( sp) hand outs listed Red Dot with 1 oz loads
I believe with the Fed Highpower hull ( maybe more hulls )

But I will not be able to get my hands on either for several days

clays and red dot are way too fast for the 16 even with 7/8oz. they are meant for 12ga. only. Green dot and international can be used with 7/8oz. in the 16. anything 1 oz. will require Unique or Universal and 1 1/8oz. is Herco. i use 7/8 oz. with Greendot and a Downrange 16 wad.

My Lyman Shotshell Handbook lists three loads only for Red Dot. All are 1 oz. loads. Federal plastic hunting case-CCI 109 primer-Rem. power piston R16 wad-19 gr.-1325 fps-10,300 lup--Win. or Western compression formed plastic case-CCI 109 primer-Rem. Power piston wad-17.5 gr.-1210 fps-9,500 lup-- Rem.-Peters SP plastic case with composition base for 57/157 primers only-CCI 157 primer-Rem. power piston wad-16 gr. -1220 fps-10,300 lup. These are 2 3/4 inch folded crimp cases.
