Pete,
I could'nt agree more with your statement. I started shooting 7/8oz., 6200psi. loads 20+ yrs ago in my Parkers not because I was worried about the gun as much as I did not like getting pounded. My scores did not change but my ability to enjoy shooting 100+ rounds in a day went up dramatically. I've now went over to a 3/4oz. 20ga load and have found it to be just effective as the 7/8oz. Now that I'm getting older I worry about my guns that are twice my age and in much better shape.
PS- I've always thought the major ammo companies are missing the Public Relations boat by not introducing these light loads to the general shooting public. You know, less lead in the environment, reduced costs, etc. The NSSA and the ATA along with the Sporting Clays governing body should mandate the use of these reduced loads in their events. I only see it as a win-win situation. Ok- I'm putting my soap box away and heading off to shoot some clays. (With light loads of course).
