I hurt my right shoulder years ago, the doctor looked at it and said it was a bad muscle strain, told me of some exercises to do but now arthritis is setting in and still have problems with it. I had read about a gentleman on here I believe who was using 3/4 oz. loads and he loved it. I forgot the reason he switched but I decided to try some. I don't shoot half as much as most of you here but I am more than satisfied with the results. If I am not mistaken this same gentleman patterned these loads and found they were doing just as good as a 1 oz. load. He had a theory that the 3/4 oz. load stayed tighter than the 1 oz. load using the same gun at the same distance. I think he did 1 1/ 8 oz. also and stated the same thing, he said there were less "flyers" in the 3/4 oz.load because of less pellet interference. I can't substantiate that but as the saying goes "if I do my job right it does it's."
