Ammunition is the least expensive item in our sport. A few bucks a box is meaningless in the cost equation. Buy what you like and practice with it to gain needed confidence. You can not go wrong with RST.

Why would you do that to yourself and your gun?

It is just so much more pleasurable to drop a rooster like a sack of potatoes with a 1 ounce, or better yet, 7/8 ounce load.

Light loads are far more effective than many give them credit for. It's easier on you and your gun. And I think it makes a man a better shooter, when a gun is a pleasure to shoot, not a punishing experience.

The farthest shot I ever made on a pheasant was with a 7/8 ounce hand load from a hundred year old Dickson boxlock. Granted, it was a crosser, but still....

I am all about using the lightest load that will kill (or break targets) effectively.

Agreed.
I just ordered two flats yesterday, and they shipped today. Great service.

What a great photo! It really tells a story.

What I've always liked about that photo is the live decoy standing down in the lower right. My Father and Uncles referred to them as "Dad's English Call Ducks."

I saw that too. That's part of the story. Very interesting. That picture tells a lot!

Target load off the shelf Winchester AA light is effective. Plus you get quality hulls for reloading.

Following good advice by others, tight choked gun like yours lighter shot loads put plenty of pellets on birds. Size and number of pellets that strike the bird is what counts. 7/8 or 1 oz & chose size according to the game.
