Richard,
I have been using #76 & #80. For you fellows that do not have the chart, Richards #79 load is with Federal Hulls, 32 gr IMR 7625, SP10 Wad & 16 ga .070 card, WW209 primer and 1 1/4 oz of shot. #76 is a 1 1/8 oz load & 30 gr of 7625 and #80 is a 1 1/4 oz load with & 35 gr of 4756. The biggest variable on reloading these is the Federal 3 1/2" hull. The inside card varies in height so when triming to 2 7/8" some will end up longer than that. I have had to trim them twice. I used #5 nice shot last ear and on the odd goose it wasn't killing them unless I was on the neck and head. Going to use #2 shot this year.
Harry
