low recoil 12 gauge loads

I have tried 7/8 loads with red dot mostly but I don't like the unburt powder in my barrel. .So I have leaned to a 1oz load. Which burns alot cleaner.and works alot better in the remington auto. you can use a 7/8 load in them but brother use a 1oz load. What I like to see here is to share some of our low recoil loads. Mine are.
remington hull
nobel primer
16.5 grns of red dot
rem tgt wad
1oz of shot
approx-low 1100's

remington hull
nobel primer
16.5 grns of clay dot
rem tgt wad
1oz of shot
approx-low 1100's

    Remington All-American Hull; Fed. or Win. 209 primer, Win. Red wad or that Rem. wad of the same height, 7/8oz. (or 3/4oz. with a .125 card) #10 shot, 17.5gr. Bullseye; Same recipe in a Fed. field hull that has been trimmed 3/8" (Mec loader column has to be dropped to top hole), crimp back with 8pt. crimp, will work through my 1100's but not the Super-X's. Compression formed hull; AA, Blue Magic, ect.,Fed. or Win. 209 primer, Fed. 12S0 or equivelant wad, 7/8oz. (or 3/4oz. with .125 card) #10 shot, 16.5gr. Bullseye. Have seen the 3/4oz. load (using #9 shot) break targets from the 25yd. line through a Browning single barrel trap gun (satin colored receiver with engraving and gold things in the side of it). Lots of fun.

    nobel primers are larger than win209 or rem209. if you plan on staying with nobel, no problem. but if you switch to say win209 later, the primer pockets on those hulls will be sized too big and youll get loose primer backfire.
    fyi...i shoot 18.2 gr of red dot in my 1oz loads with a 12S0 wad. 1200fps. a better speed.

    fyi...remington all american hulls are obsolete and 40 years old.

    Do you have any unburnt powder in your barrel? Any bad sound reports when shooting.Why would you go through all the trouble when you can down size a gauge

    Yea I know about the nobel primers been useing them for years. I use them because of the price. I agree on the 1200fps smashing clays better and burns better. 1100 to 1150 still breaks them but not as hard. also milder recoil. use these at skeet,trap 16 yd and 20, sporting I would go 1200
