CRP: "but use a MEC Sizemaster for hunting loads. You should try the nickle-plated 5's from Precision Reloading in Mitchell. Those plated 5's don't bridge" I see you are still shown as ACTIVE on the bbs, so I do have a question on the shot bridging. Are you getting that shot to flow easily...

1. If I have stated anything that is factually incorrect about the 28ga, I would welcome a civil discussion so that I might achieve enlightenment. 2. I don't believe that I have posted any Ad Hominem or Appeal to Ridicule fallacies in my replies although I have received some. I think I have...

My apologies for crushing your ego; that certainly was not my intent. I just posted my opinion on using the 28 which I have done and still do at times. Please note that I did not recommend the 28 to anyone. Just basically stated my experience with it. Apparently, I ran afoul of your opinion...

Thanks Benelli Banger. Interesting article. https://www.peoplespharmacy.com/articles/how-does-a-teaspoon-of-mustard-cure-muscle-cramps

Well, sure Captain Alwaysright. Because those carrying 12s and 16s and 20s never ever fail to cleanly harvest the most birds without leaving the cripples behind. As is often said on the skeet fields, "it's not the arrow, it's the Indian". I'm sure we have all experienced hunting with people...

Actually Goose....maybe YOU need to be very, very close but that may not apply to all 28 shooters. ;)

These arguments are much like the dog arguments. Those who favor taking their cock-a-poo afield and cast scorn on the guy hunting with his Pekingese and vice-versa. It's all good; hunt with breed and the gauge you like the most. Don't worry about what the other guy hunts with. That said, just...

Well, you are correct. I haven't met Spomer. However, I have shot the 28 at skeet and trap for literally 1000s of rounds. I've also carried a 28 (either a SKB O/U or the Benelli Ethos) extensively in SD over the course of several years. I feel pretty confident that I know what it can and...

If you read it all, you must have read this section by Spomer: "Of course preserve pheasants, even the superbly conditioned, hard-flushing ones at Scattergun, are not as tough as wild birds, so I tested my new semi-auto 28 on our old family farm later in the season. Trust me, those birds were...

Minneapolis…um, no thanks

I take a 12 & 20 & <gasp!> a 28 when I go to SD. Sometimes all Benelli autos, sometimes all SKB O/Us, sometimes a mix and match. Last few years I rarely carry the 12.

I did order this from Amazon for $16. It's supposedly for medical recovery to keep them from licking a wound. It's made of a blend of cotton polyester & spandex fabric, which is lightweight and breathable. It will likely get torn to ribbons in the field but it's cheap enough. If it can delay the...

I looked at this one too. The leg sleeves just don't come down far enough to cover where she wears the hair off. It's not a barb wire thing. She is fence trained and is pretty smart about it. Somehow her running through the thick stuff just wears the hair off in about a 1 inch oval right where...
