I have no idea how they compare to RST ballistically re: velocity or pressures, but have shot both loads out of my 1891 Royal Grade H&H 12 bore. The gun is chambered for 2 1/2" and proved for 1 1/8 oz. but I limit whatever I shoot to 1 oz. maximum in deference to its 131 year-old wood. I will say that the "Light Load" is very nice for sporting clays and that the WR "Game Load", even though only 1/16 oz. heavier, produces slightly more recoil and noise. I enjoy shooting both and my gun "likes them" so there is no downside except for availability. The sub- 1 oz. loads put up in 2 1/2" with high-antimony shot and felt wadding made a believer out of me on my 2 trips to Scotland shooting driven birds; they are more than effective on duck and pheasant.
