Second, I want to shift to a 7/8oz load for the 12ga while keeping the pressure around 7000 and the velocity between 1150-1200fps. Does anyone have a good recipe for that?

Thanks for the advice in advance.

I can load both 2 3/4" and 2 1/2" 28g hulls on my MEC JR. All I need to do is use the "short kit" to load 2 1/2" shells. As for 12g, I have plenty of recipes for those. Right now on the Spolar I load 2 3/4" hulls, 7/8oz with 16g Clays at 1160 FPS. Very mild shells and will break what your pointing at.
