One of these loads is a stone cold pheasant killing wonder. The other load is best used on dove and woodcock only. Can you guess which is which? :cool:

Cfietz, Sent you a PM Very pretty pup

Pretty sure Walz has qualified as Expert on pheasant with a 28 :ROFLMAO:

Hey Goose...you might want to stroll through this site: https://nssa-nsca.org/blog/tag/ask-the-instructor/page/14/ There's a lot of good information in the responses to the various questions. For example: and

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
