I just bought several boxes of 16g No. 1 Buck at my local gunshop. I guess this becomes available in the fall for deer season. I know I couldn't find any anywhere last spring.
My first shotgun (still have it) is a 16g. I never gave much thought to the availability of ammo for it as it always seemed pretty easy to come by. Last spring someone mentioned he was having a hard time finding 16g buckshot, so I offered to see if I could find him some. I was surprised to find that I was almost out myself. Just two Remington shells and three Winchesters. Then I found out that these two companies don't even make it anymore!
Federal still makes it, but good luck finding it after hunting season ends. A word to the wise...
