Nice
skeet, I don't know how many I have shot (12ga, 11/8 oz.) but it has been a bunch. I started shooting 1 oz. a few years ago because it didn't seem I needed all that shot for 16yds. Then I tried 7/8 oz. in the 12 ga. because I was using 7/8oz. in the 20 gauge on clays and did just fine. I decided to get more serious about the 7/8oz loads when shot went up in price. I had tried 7/8oz for skeet and it was fine. I have tried it on 16yd. trap and the results are okay. Just shoot a little faster and use the full choke.
I am an old .410 fan. I used to shoot one as a kid and then came back to a Winchester Model 42 as an adult. Yes, there are times it is outgunned. It isn't a duck or goose gun. But it does quite well on pheasants and quail if you get right on them. I have also been known to put a set of tubes in the Beretta and shoot .410 at skeet. it is fun.
I learned a long time ago to test the powder weight when I changed bushings. They don't always throw what the chart says.
I am a great believer in weighing powder chargesfor the rifles and checking what goes into a shotgun shell.
