As to loads
Give RST a call for advice They have a variety of loads that would reach out including a copper plate one

Morris ships pallets of flats of highly coveted 'pigeon loads' to the southwast. These loads are hard-hitting (they need to be cause some serious stakes are involved) and I'm sure a call to Morris will get you what you need.

Allen;
I don't know if you reload or not but if it were me, with .044 choke in each barrel, I'd opt for a 1oz. load of 7.5's. I might even use 7/8oz in the first barrel. Easy on you and the gun. A 1.25oz. pigeon load will take it's toll over that much shooting as you are going to be shooting alot of overhead/vertical birds. JMHO. Have fun.

Take a look at some load data and recipes from the powder manufacturer that you like to use. Any load that is under 8,000 psi should be just fine for your gun. I use this number because i believe that RST makes no loads that are higher than that.
I load 1oz shells that are around 7,200 psi in both 2-3/4" and 2.5" and they perform well and i put them through any of my guns, damascus or fluid steel.

I was at a pigeon shoot recently and was surprised to see how many were using RST Pigeon Loads. Flat upon flats of them in the backs of their cars and SUV's. They have a modest Pigeon load that is easy on you. I do prefer #6 shot for pheasant and pigeon. B&P (Baschieri & Pellagra) High Pheasant 12 gauge 2 1/2" 1 1/16 oz of 6's is death itself. I shoot a Damascus Parker with this load out of 30" barrels with .030 & .041 constriction.

I shoot any load I please in my stout 32" 1883 2-frame twist bbld hammer gun. Mostly I shoot old paper shells with the 3-3/4dram, 1-1/4oz loads of gawd knows what pressure, but they are stout and seem to shake your teeth loose, and I don't worry one bit ever. I love old red paper Super X's, Mark V's and green, ribbed Remington Express loads for it. I think they hurt me more with the recoil than they do the gun. I shoot the same shells in a stout 2-frame 30" VH12.
