I use the lightest Alliant published 3/4 oz load using 20/28 powder, with # 8 Shot my bushing actually throws 11/16 oz. recoil is very mild. Guns are choked tight 11/16 is all the shot they need for clay targets.
I have hunted preserve Quail with the same loads. Its about the largest bird that load is suitable for. Larger or longer birds I use a different gauge gun.
Pressure is important in most vintage lightweight SXS guns cracking the stock is what you want to avoid.
