Thanks John the loads I used were all over 1200 seemed to be a little too much recoil.
I just picked up some Winchester at 1180 in 1 oz and also reloaded some at 1100 range. Looking forward to trying them out next.

IMO, 1200 fps is all you’ll ever need in handicap. Anything more than a light target load is overkill in singles. If I’m shooting registered targets, I’ll always go with 1 1/8 ounces of shot because they won’t let me shoot 1 1/4. I like one ounce loads for practice and the first shot in doubles. Of course you won’t be shooting doubles with your SBT.

And don’t be afraid to compete with that Parker. She will break just as many targets and win you just as many buckles as any “modern” gun.
