Phil, do you plan to shoot trap with it or hunt with it... or both?
But I think an accepted standard is a 30” circle at 40 yards with 1 1/8 ounces of either 7 1/2 or 8 shot.
I would however, put a black spot in the center of it that you’ll aim at so you’ll know how the gun prints the pattern - high, low, left or right.
