I shoot promo 12 G Shells in my modern O/U. Work fine, sharp recoil and loud, probably due to light weight charges of fast powder. They have to save on component cost to sell them cheap. SxS's for high volume shooting I don't want to use them.
Not a question of pressure, the guns barrels are strong enough, like something easier on my shoulder. Thin comb light weight guns, and have seen old doubles crack with recoil.
B&P's Competition one 7/8 oz is a good choice. 1 oz load if you want more shot. B&P's High Pheasant 1 oz # 6 is good one too. Use RST's too just bought some # 6 10 G, but for volume couple of us group order B&P's
Opinion based on no data is pellet size and density does the job and no shotgun load needs over 1200 fps. Tight choked SxS guns get density with chokes and don't need heavy shot charges for most targets.
