Ian, the majority of my clay shooting is done with 12g guns. Multiple 12g guns. Recoil isn’t an issue for me. I reloaded my hulls with 7/8 oz at 1160 FPS, just because I like practicing with a smaller payload. If you can break the targets with 7/8 oz you’ll definitely put XX on the card with 1 oz. I’d also say that unless we have a handicap sub-gauge shoot or a multi-day SxS shoot here, 98% of our shooters are using 12g guns, even our “new” shooters. Some are beating themselves up using a pump gun, but that’s their choice. Some can only afford a pump. Keep on shooting those 12’s, we have to be an example to the new breed.
