Default 20 ga low pressure loads

Got a pm from a fellow PGCA member asking about low pressure loads in 20 ga to shoot thru twist steel barrels. I usually shoot 3/4 oz thru my 20's for clays, though all my 20's are fluid steel. These are loads that I have used, and and all seem to work fine, may be others will chime in with their thoughts/loads.
I use AA and Rem hulls interchangeably and use the chartruse Claybuster 1075 wad, and W209 primers.
20/28: 14.5 gr, 7200 psi, @1200 fps
Green Dot: 14.5 gr, 9940psi , @1200fps
Unique: 15.4 gr, 8200 psi, @1200fps
International: 12.6 gr, 10,000psi, @ 1150 fps.
The 20/28 load is the lowest pressure, but usually I load Green dot for my 20.
Anybody have any other favorite low pressure loads for the 20?
