12 gauge 1 1/8 oz #7.5 shot
20 gauge 1 oz #7.5 shot
I use Remington Shur-Shot or Winchester Super X Heavy Dove Loads.
If you want to spend more money use the Remington STS or Winchester AA target loads.

Remington Shur-Shot and Winchester Super X Heavy Dove should be around $3.89 a box.
Good Stuff.
DO NOT SHOOT THE VALUPAK stuff that come in the 100 packs unless your shooting a good Semi or break action gun

Actually any inertia operated (benelli) or gas operated systems set up for light loads (browning fusion, remington 1100) can shoot it, they just burn really dirty and you'll have to clean your guns more often. I'm just of the ilk that you get what you pay for.
The biggest problems are with pumps (remington 870 express, winchester 1300). The crappy metal header on the shells swell and get jammed in the gun until they cool off enough to eject.
In the case of Winchester Super Speeds you get in a 12 gauge load 7/8 oz of very poor quality lead launched at incredible speed meaning the lead will get jammed together, get malformed and fly all over the place rather than in a nice pattern.
The only decent value pak I've ever found that burned pretty clean and also ejected most every time and had nice patterns was the Federal Gold Medal 12 gauge loads.
Trust me on the Remington Shur-Shot and Winchester Super X heavy dove, these are nice clean burning, solid patterning shells that will not break the bank.

Pumper,
Do a search on Jamming and or shell not ejecting and invariably it's a Winchester 1300 or Remington 870 shooting crappy valu-pak loads. I bet you find a hundred of them.
Then about 20 of us come on here and say have the innerds polished and/or quit shooting crappy shells.
It's one of the most common posts and there are a few reasons for it but do the search and you'll read about them.

Willy,
They won't hurt your gun nor will they boost your confidence.
Shoot whatever you want. You'll get picky about it later.
Have Fun.
