Unhappy 16 Gauge Blues

I read through the Cabela's Fall Shooting catalog and got bummed out. Very few loads for a 16 gauge fan and only 2 loads for the 6mm Remington. Hornady and Remington are the only manufacturers who had 6mm loads, 95 and 100 grain; no varmint loads. I guess people don't know what a great cartridge the 6mm Rem really is; better than the .243 Win. if you know what is going on.
The 16 gauge is such a fine light and finely balanced shotgun that most people haven't had a chance to shoot. You have to hunt with one to really appreciate them. I guess it is time to buy a 16 gauge loader and load up on 16 gauge wads.
