| I shoot the 16ga.6 shot 1200 FPS and find them great on pheasant and was wondering if anyone here shoots the 12 ga. 7/8 ounce load at 1200 FPS on pheasant.The reason I was thinking about a 12 is because RST is always running out of 16’s. |

I shoot lots of 7/8oz 12ga target loads at clays. They are excellent.
I load 1oz for many of my 12ga 2 1/2" vintage sxs guns. They work great. No reason 7/8oz won't work if that's what you desire. |

AC,
The 7/8 oz for shooting Pheasant are a little light unless you are pretty close when taking the shot. I use the 1 oz 2 1/2" 12 gauge and they work quite well when shooting Pheasants. They are almost the same loads we use in our 16 gauge when hunting Grouse & Woodcock. I do like the RST shells in all our Classic guns.
all the best,
