As they say up in Pennsylvania Dutch country, "Dewey hab recht" (Dewey is right). I shot a round of SC yesterday morning with my New Year's present to myself (a sleek little 16 ga. Ute Sterly Skeet & Upland Game gun), using Morris' RST 16 ga. 7/8 oz. loads of #8 shot. At 6lbs. 4 oz., I was literally amazed at the mild recoil!
