To my knowledge, ALL the "promotional" 1 oz 16ga loads from Rem/Fed/Win are 1165 fps. Given that the velocity and shot charge are the same, I never found much of a difference in recoil. I agree that the Wins seem the lightest-recoiling of the bunch, but not by a whole lot.


A few years ago I did an informal comparison on doves, using an Elsie Ideal 16 FWE with 30" barrels and tight chokes. Shot Fed blue box field loads, Rem promo field loads, and Win Super-X silver box field loads, all from WalMart and K-Mart, all 1oz. All three killed doves nicely, but the Rems kicked the most and the Wins were softest. Very noticeable difference to me.
