Reducing the shot charge will lower pressure and increase velocity. A single Cheerio can be placed inside the shot cup before adding the shot. The average Cheerio takes up the space of 1/8 of ounce of shot. They are cheap, light and readily available. Use the plain ones so your hand doesn't get sticky.
