Wichester-Western Low Brass Shells

I've been loading 7/8 oz. 16 gauge loads with 14 grains of Red Dot for the past few years. I knew that there were factory loads using Red Dot years ago but never had one to take apart to weigh the powder charge. Does anyone here know what the old factory charge weight was?

These are the ones that surprise me, 28-gauge loaded with Red Dot --
