If you like 3/4 or 7/8 ounce shot then go shoot it and enjoy it. It is all about enjoyment. We are not feeding our families doing this. Shotgun shooter get just a squirrel(ly) as a rifle shooter who stress about that extra 50 fps or worries about the group size being 1.25" in stead of under 1" at 100 yards. I love it when they say that .25" difference, in group size, would be too great at 300 or 400 yards. Heck, most of those guys will never shoot anything at 300 or 400 yards and in the field there are no benches to shoot off. It is all in their heads. Load what you want and shoot it. If you miss I'll tell you you were just behind it anyways.;)
