    Since the topic is lite loads, I would recommend the 3/4 oz. 12 gauge load using Clays listed on the Hodgden website. It uses a WAA or STS hull and Fed SO12 wad. WAA hulls reflect 6,200psi at 1,200fps (the same as the Win FeatherLites). I use this load all the time in damascus barreled guns. It will crush clays and you get 500+ rounds from a bag of shot. A MEC machine's crimping function can be adjusted to get this crimp right.
