My light 12 load is 7/8 oz & Claybuster wads. Red Dot powder with all data and charge straight from Alliants site EXCEPT 1 powder bushing lighter than the recommended charge. Recoil is a bit lighter than published minimum charge weight load. Tight choked guns give adequate shot density for clay birds with fewer pellets. No need for 1 1/8 or 1 1/4 & have doubts 1 oz is necessary

Opinion, ideal light 12 G Parker & Targets factory load is B&P Competition One 7/8 oz. Buy them when I can find them. Alliants 7/8 load about duplicates it.
