No Ed-even the 'Low Brass' 'Game Load' shells are loaded hot enough to cycle autoloaders. Federal made a special run of 7/8 oz 16g shells at 1400 fps (!!) which had wicked recoil in a 6 1/2 # gun. 'Low pressure' loads have 5000 psi to less than 8000 psi and most low brass Field/Game loads run 9000-10,500. Why risk a cracked stock in a $1000 gun to shoot some promo specials with unknown speed and pressure? With a 12g, I'd stick with the Winchester AA 1 oz Xtra-Lite Target loads for clays/quail/dove and the Federal Game Shok Game Load (1 oz.) or Game Shok Heavy Field ( 1 1/8 oz.) for pheasant. Others will disagree.
