The best new 16 ga. hulls I have found are sold by Ballistic Products.....Fiocchi - new - primed - $8.99 per hundred. These are high brass and crimp well with folded or rolled crimp.

I can in no way agree with the post that Fiocchi hulls are junk. First of all, Fiocchi primers are slighty larger in diameter than most American primers and best loaded with Fio 615 (standard) or Fio 616 (mag) primers. Fiocchi primers are also excellent on other hulls that have been loaded a few times. The Fio 616 is the same as the well known Alcan Max-Fire primer of the past and is the best primer we have found for slow burn powders in cold weather. We have used, and still use, Fiocchi hullls , new and primed, for the development of all specialized long range loads.
