12 gauge 7/8 ounce load effectiveness

I had to " bookmark " the page - when I tried to save it by clicking on what they said to do all I got was a page with a picture. Now I can go to it whenever I like.

My calculated savings on loading 7/8oz vs. 1oz. For target shooting is about 25 cents per box. I have not noticed any difference in effectiveness when it comes to breaking them.

I dragged out my homemade Excel spreadsheet to check out the savings. It's been a while since I used it - Shot was $13 a bag!. Updating it, I figure that reducing shot from 1 oz to 7/8 oz. would save me a buck a box

The "savings" in 7/8 and 3/4 oz. 12-bore loads is not so much monetary as it is physical. My shoulder feels better... and I know my gun does. The targets still break. And we're giving a break to some grand old guns...
