Just some further comments, I use 7/8 ounce loads in 12-gauge for practice and I've shot > 15,000 of them since powder and lead shot got scarce and more expensive just a few years ago. But it's basically a 20-gauge payload and I don't kid myself that it will do what a 1 ounce or better yet a 1-1/8 ounce load will do in a given 12-gauge gun. That's for longer range clays and serious SxS event shooting. To use a saying from a late friend .... "when the gun goes bang those extra BB's [sic] have to go somewhere".
