Russell, here are some 3/4 oz loads. I shoot the 3/4 oz with International and the DR16 wad a lot. Trouble is DR16 wads about impossible to find now, but I still have about 800 of them.
All of these loads had been tested by Precision Reloading and were taken off the 16 Gauge Forum. use them if you like.
All the following loads are in a Cheddite 2 1/2" hull:
International 15.9 gr, ched 209, DR16--1150fps @6200psi
International 16.6 gr, ched 209, DR16--1200fps @6700psi
GreenDot 13.6 gr, ched 209, DR16 1109fps@6900fps
GreenDot 14 gr, ched 209, SG16 wad 1076fps@5600psi
GreenDot 15.5, ched 209 SG16 wad 1177fps@7333psi
Rem(RGL) black game load 2 3/4"--but they run shorter
20/ 28 15.5gr, ched 209, DR16 , 1120fps@6200fps
I've shot a lot of these and have upped it to 16 gr using both 7/8 and 3/4 oz
