28ga 13/16 oz loads

[James L. Martin]

Looking at the Hodgdon site I saw 13/16 oz loads using Winchester AAHS hulls. Has anyone tried this? They look interesting ,they add 1/16 oz to the standard 3/4 oz loads using Winchester HS wads and hulls.

Not sure what improvement this would make. I see people touting 15/16 oz loads for the 16 ga also--over a 7/8 oz load.
In the 28, if I wanted more than 3/4 oz, I would just load 7/8--I thnk my bar drops a a little light anyway.
If you load some up, let us know what you think.
