16 gauge ammo at WalMart?

Not in many years.

They used to carry it,I see more 28 ga than 16's anymore.

Every time I find it I buy as much as I can carry. My dove gun is a late 40's or 50's Winchester model 12 16ga that kicked like a beat horse.

Good luck on the search. I have more luck online finding it though.

What's a good price per box?

[No_0ne]

$8-10 for lead, more expensive for other metals...

Thought one of main ideas of 16 gauge was that it is significantly tamer than 12.

I've never shot the model 12 in a 12ga. After the beating I take every year in the dove field with the 16 I'm not sure I'd like to shoot the 12 a lot!

Put a damn pad on it,  you don't lose your man card or anything.

Recently??? I could use some. Dove hunting is the only time I shoot the ol Browning so I buy it when I can.

But Bass Pro has been my most reliable source the last couple seasons.

A few months back I saw some 16 gauge shells for sale at the Walmart in Clinton (I am not in that location very often so I don't know if they regularly stock it or if they just happened to have some that day.)  They were stacked above the reloading/ammo cabinet that is a little off to the side of the counter.  I do not recall having seen 16 gauge at any, other Walmart.

usually after opening day and Labor Day i have a sweet bruise on my shoulder (and normally my bicep from it slipping down or straight up shots) But I love my A5 Sweet 16 and I'm just not a pu$$y so I deal with it.

I always blamed the beatdown on the shells. usually the only available are Remington Game Loads, and to me theyre more like Medium game loads than light. They aren't low brass when you look at them. It's all good if you shoot 10 times but if you shoot 10 boxes it wears on you. My BPS 12 and 870 12 with light dove loads arent the same. i never have but I'd like to shoot a 16ga gas gun to compare to an Auto 5. An 1100 16ga would probably be a nice dove gun.

[jeff43]

Yeah I have a 1100 and a 870 Wingmaster that was my Dads .

A 1920's vintage model 12 12 gauge is my go to shotgun for just about everything. I use it on squirrel, rabbit, turkey, and for anything else, including dove. Its not a recoil monster, but it sure ain't the softest shooting gun I own. I normally run #6 high brass for everything but turkey.

Tapatalk ate my spelling.
