Chuck, the Rem 1 oz loads will have more recoil than Federal 1 oz loads. I order Federal H160 loads, 2 1/2 dram, 1165 fps. My case price brings it down to $80 per flat. I use that load for most targets and hunting in either 8, 7 1/2 or 6.

The Remington 1 oz 16's are 1200fps. Although no dre is stated, my guess is that they are 2 3/4 dre. Some here have complained about their recoil. To me its the right recoil for their load, although it is more than the Federals.

I have shot RST 1 oz loads, they are about the same speed as Federals, and to my shoulder, the RST 1oz and the Fed 1 oz feel the same. Obviously, if you really need minimal recoil, you could ask RST to run a few cases of 7/8 oz low speed, maybe 1050 or 1100fps.
