Alliant actually has a published load using 29 grains of Green Dot in a Federal Hull (3.5"), with an 1 1/4 of lead shot. Win 209 primer, SP 10 wad with 6 .135 cards for filler. Velocity is 1265, pressure 8800.
I used this as a baseline and load 27 gr GD with 1 1/4 ounce lead in a 2 7/8" Fed hull. SP10 wad and 1/4" fiber filler. I have shot a lot of crows with this load through composite barrel guns without issue.
