I've used the same as Phil but for the wad. Didn't have any BPI wads [ that cost too much anyways] and used a CB wad intended for 1 3/8oz of shot but loaded 1oz . The shorter cushion area is the only difference between it and a 1oz wad and being shorter allows it to be used in a 2 1/2" shell. IMHO, if you're loading down around 15grs of anything and 1oz of shot, it's gonna be a low pressure load and kind of hard to get too much pressure no matter what wad you use. I've been shooting damascus barrel SxS's for ten years with low pressure loads. Low recoil, less cost, and lots of fun.
