I load 20 ga, and it is not hard to get that 8500 pressure and close to 1200 fps, but I wouldnt bother to load for that gun at the price you can buy standard( Win, Rem, Federal, Rio, etc) shells. Personally, I would also shoot 1 oz loads thru it if I wanted a little more oomph for pheasants, and never worry. I bet the majority of Trojan shooters would agree.

Agreed. I shoot the one ounce Winchester AA skeet loads exclusively for doves, 1200 fps in a Trojan and VH. They cost the same price as the 7/8 ounce loads and in my opinion are a far superior shell to anything out there. I use 8s right and 7 1/2 left. Plus one has great hulls to reload and every year Winchester has a $2 per box rebate, which makes them cost less than promotional "cheap" shells. A case brings you a $20 refund.
