3/4 oz. in a 12 gauge is a fun load to shoot. Years ago I reloaded for a 12 year-old boy shooting 3/4 oz. out of a 12 gauge gas operated Beretta. To give him confidence and show him that it wasn't just a kid's load, I shot the same load out of my Remington 3200 at early season dove. It was more than adequate for the job and he had no problem limiting out. Gil
