I have not loaded 1 oz in the 2 3/4 inch hulls. It was hard for me to give up on 2 3/4, Ponsness Warren all set up for 20 & 16 G 2 3/4. Now loading 2 1/2 on a Mec 600 with the short kit. However if I wanted 3/4 & 7/8 it was the right choice.
Looking at Hodgdons site they only list 1 oz for 2 3/4 Cheddites 3/4 & 7/8 for the shorter shells.
Before Hodgdon published recent data 16 G shooters used all sorts of tricks to light load long cases successfully . Most using fillers of some sort. Fillers work well that’s how I load short 10 with thanks to guys on this forum. If you want to stick with 2 3/4 hulls fillers would be a good solution. My choice of 2 1/2 was due to majority if not all my 16 G shooting with 3/4 oz.
