If you start with any pressure-tested recipe for 7/8 ounce shot and the DR16 wad in a Remington hull, you can safely reduce the payload as far as you like. With careful adjustments to the crimping stations, you can achieve crimps like those I get on my MEC9000G...
Unlike any other wad, the soft collapsibile legs of the DR16 allow it to adjust to a wide range of payloads without spring-loading and exerting undue upward pressure on the crimps.
There are better choices for 7/8 and 1 ounce in the Remington hull but the DR16 excels for 3/4 and less. IME, the DR16 is unsurpassed for 7/8 ounce in virtually any other hull.
I bought the ammo from Bass Pro about 2004-2006. In that same era, my local Walmarts started to carry them and I ordered 40 flats @ $32.99. I don't expect to have to re-supply.
