Get yourself a 1 oz and a 7/8 oz charge bar. You can make light loads with 1 and 7/8 oz recipes. Keep the FPS under 1200 and you'll be happy. Velocity and load weight are what cause felt recoil so keep the velocity down. I prefer 1150-1180 FPS. They break anything that a 1250-1300 FPS load can break. I noticed you originally said you had #6 and #7 1/2 shot. If you're loading for clays you can't use anything larger than 7 1/2. It's a safety factor.
