I have a few 6,5 or less pounds doubles that I can shoot for a 100 rounds or so of trap with 7/8 or 3/4 oz 1250 fps loads, but only one round with 1,0 oz 1200 fps loads. Even more, 10-15 rounds of 1,0 oz hunting loads at 1300 fps leaves me with a shoulder that reminds me of that the next day.

I shoot with the unweighted leather handguards -- consider them essential for splinter foreends. Might go looking for some weighted ones, now that I know they are commercial item -- thanks Jim for that information.
