Dude has pics of 1.5oz of lead he is loading and a couple companies offering loads now as well.

Windy hill has lead 7s as an option.

Lead is 11.3 g/cm and tss is 18+ g,/cm depending on the exact alloy composition.  In short not much more than the 1 1/4 oz of lead will fit in the shell. 

If a 1 1/4 oz is all that will fit,how do explain the Windy Hill 1 7/16 oz load and the other guys 1 1/2 oz load of 6s.

It's wad volume.  First not all wads have the same internal volume.  Second an ounce of tss is a different volume than an ounce of lead shot.  Two different factors dictating outcome of an equation.

I load a 1 3/8 ounce load with BPI 2092 wad that shoots good. You can get 1.5 in that wad but barely.
