I do remember one maker doing them, eley or lyalvale, but despite having searched the web i cannot find them and assume they were discontinued. A 7/8 oz 12 bore load for older guns (and bodies) that you don't want to punish. If you search websites the emphasis is on power and speed.

King Brown Sidelock Joined: Jun 2002 Posts: 9,350 Nova Scotia	The 16ga Gamebore Traditional Game 2 1/2-inch 28gms felt wad is 8122psi, and the Lyalvale 16 Express 2 1/2-inch 28gms is (or was) 8700psi, from my inquiries to the companies perhaps 15 years ago. I have a couple boxes of both but reload to lighter pressures now.
