I've used fox trot #8s and a 8/9 blend with good luck. In my opinion shooting through anything bigger than your finger isn't gonna go well. I don't condone shooting through brush but I've killed plenty of toms where they're in range and take a peek through a honey suckle bush.

I have a 28 gauge bobwhite as well. They are fun guns. I had mine drill and tapped for a Skinner peep, but may swap it out for a red dot. I also had the center rib drilled and tapped for a sling stud, although the thin rib metal makes me nervous.

I am shooting the Trulock .515 also, with the 1-3/8oz tss load that is posted on Hodgdon's load data center. I am using the factory full choke with Fiochi's 1-1/16 oz. Load of lead #7.5 shot in the right barrel for close shots. It patterns very well to 25 yards. POA/POI is good on both barrels. The handload with tss is in a 2-3/4" shell and the lead Fiochi shell is a 3", which makes it easy to get proper shells in each barrel in the dark.

I haven't killed a gobbler with it yet, but will be fall hunting soon.
