When I reload for targets I use the STS, Win209, and 7/8 ounce in a Federal 12S0 over 17 grains of Clays. Per Hodgdon's site that comes in at 7700 psi and 1220 fps. If you go with a CB-4100-12 instead, with 18.8 grains of Clays you get 5200 psi (!) and 1200 fps.

The 12S0 load is a nice, soft-shooting one that is economical (esp with the shot) and patterns well.
