Chris: 1 1/4 oz. 3 1/4 dram loads would be considered 'light' by pre-1900 Live Bird and Inanimate Target shooters. See https://docs.google.com/View?id=dfg2hmx7_333g89dwqg8
And they were limited to guns weighing less than 8 pounds "weighed naked"

100 year old wood might appreciate slightly less recoil however
