I use 1 ounce minimum in 12 when hunting, the fluid steel guns up to 1 1/8. Never 1 1/4 except turkeys.
I owe it to wild game not to cripple it by having an insufficient load when I misjudge the distance, especially doves where one makes multiple mistakes on distance in a single day. Nothing worse than to see a dove start to tumble and regain its composure just to get away to die later.
