For trap I use them in either a VH or a SBT SC. Both guns like the light loads a lot. Patterns are superb. And they destroy targets when I do my part.

Jeff, although the cost savings between 1 1/8 and 7/8 ounce traps loads is only 75 cents a box, getting more loads out of a jug of powder and a bag of shot is a good thing in this time of component shortages. I can get almost 15 more boxes of shells out of an 8lb jug of Red Dot using 7/8 and 4 more boxes of shells out of a 25lb bag of shot vs. 1 1/8 loadings. The lower recoil of the lighter loads is better for the gun and less fatigue for the shooter.
