Title: 28ga

What is the best 28 ga shell.    Back in the day we tested Apex and one of Hals loads but looking to do little more testing to see if we can find anymore.  You know we like to see how dead we can make.  :smiley-char092:

In my 28 Beretta, it's a tossup between Jebs(Rogue) and Foxtrot.

Mr William, I have had excellent experience with Foxtrot, he makes a load that is a 1.5 ounce of 9s or 9.5.  I shot them at 35 yards and got 387 in the 10. When I walked up to the target I said no way am I going to count that!! Then I stood there counting!!! I texted Brice and sent him a picture of the pattern.  He suggested that I shoot at 40. So I shot it again and got 340 in the 10 at 40 yards. This is with the factory full choke. Gun is a Charles Daly semi auto.  If Brice isn't showing in stock, all you need to do is call or text him and he will get them made!!! Usually in short order as well.

Have a good one, Bo

William, definitely check out Rogue.  In my SBE3 the 9.5's seem to be the ticket.  Pretty impressive.

And your mount with the FF is awesome of course ;)!

#9.5s like a .515-.520

#9s a .525 or more open

I've got cherry bombs from foxtrot and verdicts new load of 1.5oz #9s haven't shot them. To see.
