What do you think the pressures would be?

I have used the Winchester low recoil/noise shells and they are anemic. It's amazing how many clays you see being dusted on the dome without breaking when using them. I have also used the Federal Top Gun in 7/8oz. and those are excellent light loads for game guns but 2 3/4". Federal states on the box that they load them with Alliant Extra-Light powder. I have checked the reloading data on the Alliant site and they should be 7760 psi if we infer that the components are Federal wads and primers... I would assume the Kent loads would be fairly low pressure as it is hard to make a 3/4 oz. load at 1200 fps very high through a 12ga.

7760 psi is a totally realistic pressure whether the gun has Twist, Damascus or Steel barrels. The Alliant Extra-Light powder will put its max pressure where the chambers are at their thickest. If a gun won't stand this pressure, hang it on the wall or make a lamp out of it. I'm not Hung Up on all those 5K pressure loads. Of course I was always a hunter rather than a clays shooter & many of those super light pressure loads are un-reliable in cold weather.

They almost sound like the old Kent Gamebore White Gold XLR shells. ( from my notes on them, after contacting them some years ago for the pressures)
White Gold XLR, plastic case, 65mm (2 1/2") 21gm (3/4oz), #8 shot (312 pellets .085"-.090") (my count) Fibre wad 1250 ft/sec 7,975psi

I like the Fiocchi trainers and have used them in my Brit twist hammer gun with good success. When I bought my last batch a few years ago, Fiocchi quoted the chamber pressure at 6600psi. Don't know about the current batches because I have not seen any on the shelf in a while.

All I use are my 3/4oz 12ga reloads at 1275fps. Get a clean burn and the higher velocity is suppose to eliminate a hot center core in the pattern with 3/4oz loads. There's no recoil and they break clay birds just fine. #8's are good for skeet, trap, and SC's. 8000psi is fine for any barrel. I think you're gonna like them. I'd buy some but I can reload 3/4oz shells for about 3.45/box. Good luck - Paul

Just heard about shipping. My total is $98.02. The same price per box as the Win. FeatherLight 980fps shells at my local wally world. Will be ordering some.
