Dick,
If you'd like to go a little lighter, here is my recipe for 12 gauge with a 1/2 ounce of lead shot.
Remington hull: Gun Club, Nitro Gold or STS. Older Winchester AACF hulls OK too.
Cheddite, Winchester or Remington 209 primer.
14 grains of Alliant Extra Lite powder.
CB 0175-12 pink wad for 3/4 ounce.
I put a Circle Fly 20 gauge 0.620" dia by 0.135" thick nitro card in the bottom of the CB wad.
I had them tested in 2015 by Tom Armbrust. About 5500 psi and 1350 fps.
I've shot about 15,000 plus over the past 8 years.
They work fine, burn clean and if you hit the bird it breaks, if you miss it, it won't.
They may not make diesel smoke out there at 30 yards but they do break birds. Nice mild recoil and the lead and powder usage is a lot lower.
And by the way, there isn't a clay bird that can't be broken with this load at our local Sporting Clay's course.
I hope this helps.
