For the past 15 years I've put tens of thousands of my 12-gauge, 7/8 ounce, 1200 fps, reloads through my 1937 vintage Fox-Sterlingworth Ejector Skeet & Upland Game Gun. I feel 7/8 ounce is light enough in the 12-gauge with little to no recoil and good skeet patterns. My load is a Remington STS hull, Remington 209P primer, 16.4 Grains of Clays, Remington TGT12S wad (or CB equivalent) and 7/8 ounce shot. About 6300 psi according to the Basic Reloading Manual. For nostalgic smells I do a 7/8 ounce, 1200 fps, load in Federal papers.
