My for fun skeet load for my 12g is 11/16 oz of shot, a 410 equivalent load. For a really mild load, loading down can be very nice. A hunting load in a lighter 410 or 28 can actually give you a bigger punch in the shoulder. You do need to have double or mechanical triggers instead of inertias.
My 12ga waterfowl load is 7/ 8 oz and the 16 is 3/4 oz both in the 28ga range and they are under 1200 fps both mild. Mine are light to save money but surprisingly seem to kill just fine.
He might enjoy shooting his familiar shotgun instead of strange one.
I guess we posted at the same time.
