Try this site http://data.hodgdon.com/shotshell_load.asp they have a few loads around 8000 psi 1250 fps. I like the 800x burns pretty clean and you can use it for other loads, makes a great 1 1/8 load.

Nothing wrong with using 1 1/4 ounces for high doves, but there is no point in a 3 3/4 DE load. A 3 1/4 DE classic pigeon load will kill as far since the velocity at the dove is not much different. The big difference is in the recoil. My experience is that the pattern density can be astounding with slow 1 1/4 ounce loads.

Bill that sounds a lot better to me than using a 7/8 oz powder puff load that might get up to the high ones.
