I'm no fan of the 12 either but do shoot a couple on the clays course. With light loads 7/8oz of #8 they are comfortable even in a fairly light English hammer gun that I have.

This fall will be my first time hunting with a 12 in probably 40 years. I was smitten by an 6lb "Light Game Gun" from a British firm. I bought a case of RST 2 inch paper 3/4oz loads for grouse and woodcock. We will see how it shapes up but I'll still be using the small bores for most of my hunting.
