12 Gauge 2-3/4" 2-3/4 DRAM 1 oz. Oz. Shot # 8 Velocity 1,180

Stay away from 3 DRAM as you don't need the extra power for trap. You want light target loads. A round is 25 clays. Shoot 4 rounds or 100 clays and you will want as light recoil as you can get.

I know all this because I did everything the wrong way when I first started. Made every mistake you can make at least once.
