I'm not a BP user except in a couple original ML's .

I do however load 36.5 grains of Universal Clays with 1 3/4 ounces of shot in m 8 gauge loads . I also have no issue with the 1 1/2 ounce load pushed by 31 grains of Clays . It's just easier for me atleast to do the 1 3/4 ounce load then I need not worry with card spacers in the shotcup .

I think the 1 3/4oz loads I have are 46gr of bluedot.The 8 gauge can actually be pretty versatile with its payload. I have seen loads from 1.5oz up to 3oz. Even if I had a gun proofed for the 3oz loads I wouldnt want to shoot those in a 12-15lb gun. I shot a 3oz 10 ga load before and it felt like being in a car wreck from a 11lb single I said never again lol.
