Less is often more.A7/8 or 3/4 oz. 12 ga. load at moderate velocity will amaze you at the pattern board or clays. Also on most upland hunting 7/8 or 1 oz.will do anything heavier loads can. We americans have a love affair with magnum loads that the rest of the shotgun world does not share

i switch to 3/4 oz 7 1/2's for trap and it does do the job just fine, next week i will try them on the sporting clays course for the 1st time. I do love the lack of recoil, 7/8 ths oz loads are now my "heavy" loads on clays. And the fps is around 1150 on both loads,

I switch between 3/4 oz and 7/8 oz for my 12 G Parkers depending on the gun and more important target. Only 12 G Parker I use 1 oz is a Lifter with Black Powder . It just seems right to put more shot in a Lifter with Black. And it's a Heavy gun
