For the fun of it try some 7/8 oz. loads. Buy a bag of Clay Buster 0178 wads, look up a 7/8 load with your favorite powder, and load some 8.5 shot with a velocity of around 1200 to 1250 fps. If your gun fits well, this load has very little felt recoil. I shoot a light full choke and the target turn to pure dust. The velocity is important with 8.5 shot.
7/8 oz. load
17.2 grains of Clay Dot or 17.5 grains of American Select or 15.5 grains Extra Lite.
ClayBuster Wad 0178
Winchester Hulls
Cheddite Primer
Check you load data, weigh your powder, find one that works.
The Federal Top Gun 7/8 ounce wholesale for the same price as the more common 1 ounce Top Guns. Don't let your dealer charge more. I pay $56.50 a flat, maybe $57.50 next time.
