12 gauge 7/8 ounce load effectiveness

[Double Lab]

Welcome to the world of light but effective shot charges Pete. If you get a chance to load up some 3/4oz. you would be amazed at the pattern and total lack of recoil out of a 12. I have some patterns shot with my VH's ranging from .010 to .034. I'll dig them up and post them when I find them. What with the cost of lead these days they are a real money/lead saver.

Daryl I have been shooting 7/8 and a few 3/4 ounce 12ga loads for a few years now. The DHE I shot the pattern with is a gun I have been using for trap shooting for a couple of years. I was always impressed with quality of the target breaks using 7/8 ounce of 8 through the left barrel as I prefer the feel of the back trigger for singles. I had never patterned this gun before today and was very pleased with results and I wanted to share them.

Same here Pete. My double trap has a ball grip and the back trigger feels much more comfortable when shooting singles. Who needs one of them fancy SBT's.
