Title: Ammo Test results(Waterfowl)
Post by: zelmo1 on October 06, 2023, 08:59:14 AM
Opening day field test results. Boss bismuth #6 28 gauge out of a SBE3 with factory full choke. 6 birds 9 shots fired, 2 at my buddies cripples ( he was shooting steel). No cripples and ranges were 25-40 yards. Clean kills on every bird. Patterns great and seems to hit with awesome lethality. Big ducks to medium size, blacks and mallards to wigeon and woodies. I will keep shooting it out of this gun , I was very impressed with the performance. It isn't cheap but comparing it to the big name brands of bismuth and high end premium steel, the better performance mitigates the cost variance. Just my  :z-two cents: Z

I have been shooting the 1 1/2 ounce 3 inch 12 gauge 5s. Worth every penny, I don't have to ever shoot a cripple it seems like anymore. I might drop to the 2 3/4 inch loads. I hate to say it but the 3 inch boss might be overkill hahah.

I forgot to list the load, lol. I am shooting the #6    1 1/16th ounce loads in my 28 for swamp hunts. I will shoot #4's for the open marsh hunts. Z
