1 ounce loads for clay targets at 1290 fps makes no sense to me. I shoot 1 ounce loads for less recoil. 1 ounce offer no other advantage. 1200 fps is more than adequate for targets. 1150 fps is plenty good. 1290 fps just ups the recoil to no advantage.
I understand that 1290 fps was once standard for 1 ounce field loads. But I use 1 ounce for targets, not for field loads.
