Look for Winchester Low Noise, Low recoil in 12 gauge.
It's 7/8 loads at reasonable velocities.

The Winchester AA "featherlite" shells actually have 26 grams, not 7/8 ounce of shot. 26 grams kind of splits the difference between 7/8 ounce and one ounce, very close to 15/16 ounce.
Yet at 980 fps muzzle velocity, these rounds are very pleasant to shoot, and being subsonic, aren't all that loud either.
They are also good dove ammo for people who understand that doves aren't armor plated.
This is the time of the year when all the skeet fields are full of people warming up for bird season, most of them shooting heavy high velocity field loads and missing the birds anyway, while the old pros are turning clay birds into dust mostly with 7/8 and 1 ounce loads shot at 1150 to 1200 fps on the trap field.
