A one ounce load in a 16 gauge is about a good as is gets, put that in a Model 12, with a solid rib and you have reached perfection! At least good enough for me....
Had that same solid rib M12 16 gauge as a young man and thought it was perfect.
Best $90.00 that I ever spent (1977)
Could find a full case of 1 1/8 #7.5 shells at the same price 12/20 gauge ammo just about everywhere..
Unfortunately I sold it to pay bills after a car wreck.
