Default Light load advice

Loading 7/8 oz for my well stocked VH 12. Straight out of the Hodgdon manual 17.8 (my Mec is throwing 17.7) Titewad @ 8,600 psi 1250 fps. Works well on Clay targets.

Have my eye on a older Damascus Parker though. Hodgdon has a 3/4 oz load, 15.3 of Titewad. Manual says 6,700 psi 1150 fps.

Think it's a good idea to go to the lighter 3/4 oz load for Damascus guns ? This one could afford to give up a little performance on clays. What do you guys usually run in the older Parker's.
