Kensal,
Welcome to the world of low recoil, low pressure 3/4-7/8oz. loads. I will make you a bet that in 5 yrs. you will still be shooting those loads and wondering why you ever thought you needed 1 1/8oz. loads. I've loaded shot sizes from 7 1/2-9 and they all work adequately but for my money I load all 7 1/2 and shoot them in both tightly choked guns and open choked guns. 7 1/2's are good for 25yd. targets and the 40yd. targets. They just retain more energy and where a #8 or 9 will "dust" a target, 1 or 2 -7 1/2's will generally be enough to break it. Just my opinion.
