Besides Unique any advice ? AVALABLE in 8 pounders !

Winchester 572 might work for your application. Go to the Hodgdon Reloading Data Center online and look at 20ga loads using Winchester W572. A couple of examples:

AA hull, Win 209 primer, 15.5gr W572, CB-1078-20 wad, 7/8 oz shot - 1150 fps 8100 psi

Fed hull, Win 209 primer, 16.8gr W572, CB-1078-20 wad, 7/8 oz shot - 1150fps 7800 psi

I don't see any 3/4 oz loads listed.

NOTE: you won't find bushing information for W572 use the data for Hodgdon Longshot to get the weight of W572 you want in a powder drop.
