As the title really, I was given a bucketful of cartridges through a couple of third parties as the owner was packing up. I was surprised to find a load of 16 bores, I thought this was pretty much a dead calibre, any thoughts?

A friend has an old hammer sxs in 16 bore. Shoots it rarely because of the cost of cartridges....

16 Bore are not cheap, budget for GBP8-10 for a box of 25 fairly average #6. Now if only you had some cheapish .410 2.5" #6 I would be very interested :)
