Agree, 1300 FPS 1 1/8 out of a light 16gauge is not for the recoil shy and especially not all that conducive to getting back into the gun for a follow up.
Winchester makes a SuperX 16ga load of 1 oz of 5’s or 6’s at 1200fps that is more than adequate, but not as glamorous as Fiocchi and B&P.
Downrange at 40 yards the FPS difference between a starting 1200 vs 1300 is not worth the recoil.
Federal makes 16 gauge loads, both normal and high velocity, that are every bit as good as anything out of Fiocchi or B&P. In addition, for every box of their Pheasants Forever sold, they donate a portion to Pheasants Forever. Win, Win, Win....If you want velocity, they give most all any want. Federal components and shot pellets are as well made as any in the business.
