Detailed Description

Z16 Commander 16 Gauge Wads (250/bag)

When loaded with 1-1/8 oz of nickel-plated shot, the Z16 Commander is truly a proven field performer. An easy-loading, compact wad that is great for both field and target. The shot capacity is just a bit larger than the standard 16-gauge wad because it is designed for longer ranges. Like the 12-gauge Z21 Trap Commander, the Z16's cushion section allows for a final "nudge" as the shell is closed, so loads are compressed for a solid ignition and consistency.

Designed for heavy 1-1/8 and even 1-1/4 oz loads, but it can be loaded down to 7/8oz by lightly seating the wad and using fillers.

  • Gas seal: arch dome, .665" diameter with three flanges, .040" thick
  • Overall Length: 1.50"
  • Seal to cup bottom: .810"
  • Shotcup Depth: .690"
  • Shotcup type: layback hinged petals
  • Hard crossing shots and going away shots
  • Size: 16-gauge
  • Typical Loads:  1 to 1-1/4 oz lead

Very effective 16ga wad 2/17/2025
Great for lead shot loads , however , I would love to see a version of this wad with about a 1/4” deeper shot cup made a slightly shorter cushion section . It would make it a real winner for loading bismuth without having to use Mylar wraps & would be great for heavier lead field loads also . I can adjust stack height for lighter bismuth or lead loads with your great selection of felt wads of course. I my opinion it would make an already great wad even better & more versitle . 16’s rule !!!

Best 16ga wad, hands down. 2/2/2024
Best wad i’ve found for the 16ga. I’ve loaded this in federal, cheddite, and fiocci hulls and in each one it has always given me the most consistent patterns. I pre break the petal connections as going through anything less than an light full choke not all of the petals break apart from each other. Not a big deal on longer shots but I have found my patterns up close better when I do this vs when I dont.

Fantastic for 2 1/2 5/12/2017
Loaded 7/8 Oz. of 9s with an x-treme spreader in RST 2 1/2 inch empty hulls. Load height is spot on perfect! Shot a 22 in skeet the first time out with a 28 inch mod/full 1923 L.C. Smith field grade 16 ga. Did well at sporting clays and 5 Stand on close shots as well.

Wow! 3/2/2012
I am impressed with this wad. I did a lot of pattern testing. 3 loads actually had identical pellet counts on the targets! Amazing consistancy!
