[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5821308, member: 1409"] My grandfather was a market hunter for ducks back in the 1920's & 30's. He mainly used #6 shot "heavy" loads, and ran most of that thru 16 gauge guns. I'm thinking the earlier Browning 16 gauges were not labeled "Sweet 16s". I think part of their thinking back then was the 16, "carries like a 20, hits like a 12". Keep in mind this was before the 3" 20 gauge, which greatly reduced the desire for 16s. [/QUOTE]
