I use the 1 oz load with 7 1/2's for dove in my 16's also shot more than a few sharptails with 1 oz of 6's in the 16. When I step up to 1 1/8 oz I use 6's and 5's for pheasant in the express loading of 1295 fps in my Browning A-5's. My LCSmith field grade and ithaca 37R are lighter guns and 1 oz seem plenty effective. Mb
