I regularly shoot two 16's that weigh 5-11 and a 12 that weighs
6-1 using 1 oz. and 1-1/8 oz., respectively, on doves, quail,
and pheasants. These are factory game/target loads and as long
as I make a good mount and stay focused on the bird, I never
feel the recoil and my shoulder is never sore at the end of the
day. Good shooting. John
