I had a Francotte 28 that weighed about 4 1/2 pounds and was punishing with factory 3/4 ounce loads. I loaded 1/2 ounce loads without changing the powder charge that I was using for target loads. I guess I filled the shell with a thin wad. These loads worked very well and didn't recoil at all. My 28 gauge powder has always been Unique.
