Title: 28 gauge Shells
Post by: Greg Massey on February 03, 2024, 09:41:42 AM
Does anyone make a turkey load in the 28 gauge that's not TSS .... ?  Copper plated lead etc... I know you can buy a buffered pheasant load etc...

BOSS ammo might have what you are looking for

Im not sure there are any turkey specific non-tss loads out yet. I have some federal prairie storm, some Rio, and NSI loads that i hope to pattern in the next few weeks. The prairie storm is 13/16 oz of #6.  The other two are 1 ounce loads of #6 or 7.5.  All are 2-3/4". Im anxious to see how they do for close range 20 yd shots.

I shot the three previously mentioned loads this evening. All were at 20 yds with a cz bobwhite 28 gauge through a trulock skeet2 choke .537".  The Rio performed the best. I tested these through the right barrel on the gun for close shots.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240208/5337e193c0808afd449ea8ce71d5707c.jpg)

That is cool I never would thought about using a different load for the close barrel.
Great Idea.
