My regular Parker Sporting clays load is 7/8 oz # 8 @ 1150 FPS . When I want 1 oz use 7 1/2 either load about ideal for a tight choked gun. Skeet range is nearby and shoot it often, have loaded a fair amount of 3/4 oz with # 9. It performs well but I have to keep different powder wad and shot size on hand. Use up the supply will probably drop the 3/4 oz loads. Can’t detect any difference 3/4 vs 7/8 shooting. Can feel increased recoil with the 1 oz loads.

Felt Recoil is subjective though, lighter gun 3/4 may be an advantage. In any event 3/4 & # 9 is perfectly adequate for skeet targets
