No Bill I have not. I stopped shooting 1oz. loads in my 16's years ago. Too much recoil for me and my O frame guns. I've settled on the 3/4oz. loads and have found them to break any target that I encounter on the clays course.
I use the same load, only bumping up the shot to 7/8oz. (which is the tested load I posted) for bird hunting. If I feel the need for a 1oz. load I go to the 12ga. I've killed a boatload of doves and quail with the 3/4oz and dozens of wild roosters in South Dakota with the 7/8oz. I try to keep things simple.
