Well said, fun is what it's about.
On Red Dot low Pressure. Lightest load shown by Alliant is 16.5 RD 7/8 oz shot in a AA hull.
However Clay Buster on the CB 0175-12 Bag has Red Dot charges for 3/4 oz loads as light as 15.2 using AA Hulls.
I have loaded as light as 15.7 RD 3/4 & 7/8 oz with clean burns and no problems.
When you go light and if short range look at your shot size. 3/4 oz of 7 1/2 has 262 pellets. 3/4 oz of # 9 has 439. Key to full patterns with light loads is smaller shot. Skeet being close does not need large pellets. Centrifugal force spinning clay close to the trap throws the bird apart when hit.
Long distance target and clay long way from the trap or a hard target like Rabbits needs larger shot. 7/8 oz 7 1/2 in a tight choked gun will break clays to any reasonable distance. 45-50 yards is not too far for 7/8 oz
