Shoulder,
I have loaded a pile of 7\8 oz loads and they break close targets well.
It started when lead price went from 16 to 18 a bag to OMG its how much?
I have had the best luck with the winchester gray wad WAA12L, but the SL will crimp in the AA hulls or the STS.
I am trying to get thru a 4 pound jug of Red Dot that I bought during the powder shortage. It is just not as clean as the Clays.
I am loading a very mild load that is cycling a pair of Rem, 1100's with cut down stocks. My objective is a very soft shooting load that will give minimal recoil for new shooters.
We shoot both guns with a skeet choke and stay on targets that are not far out. The kids have been crushing them. It is amazing how many more shells they will shoot with the light stuff. Our goal is easy to break targets with kids having a good time to start.
Montana is right if the range is longer. But we just limit the distance.
Hodgden has a very good site with data for just about any wad/hull combo you can think of. They give a range of speeds. The loads are vary easy to shoot out of a fixed breach gun.
Remington has a 7\8 1100 fps factory load if you want to try it.
