Like others told you - every barrel and every choke is a little different. On a Benelli super sport with their crio barrel a CYL coke is about .005 / on my Browning O/U's a skeet choke is about .005 Just because a choke is marked Skeet you can't really assume it's .005 / you need to check your chokes and pattern your chokes and barrels to really know what you're getting for patterns and point of impact.
My all around load for Skeet, 16yard trap and sporting clays is 1 oz of 8's at about 1225 fps ( in 12ga ). A lot of my buddies load 7/8 oz of 8's or 9's at 1150fps as their primary shell - especially if they're recoil sensitive. Even 7/8oz of 9's are plenty at 16 yard trap singles in a 12 or 20ga for that matter. A general guideline - at a kill range of 20-30 yards use 9's / 30 - 40 yards 8's / beyond 40 yards I go to 7 1/2's - trap shots from 16 yard line you are shooting the bird as it rises ideally, and they are around 35 yards before they start to level off.
