Magnumitis is not just an affliction for rifle shooters. We overload our shotguns, too. I think the British had it about right on loading 12 ga. shotguns.
Personally, I have shot more game/more variety of game with a one ounce load than any other. I could fill a pickup bed with the ducks and pheasants that fell to one ounce. It just doesn't take the heavy magnums as much as you think. Of course, I'm talking about lead loads, so the ducks were back when with 1 oz. And 1 oz of tungsten would kill any bird living at extended ranges if you want to go there. Plus, light 12 ga loads are square. It's hip to be square...
