I bought the 28 SBE. The 3" comes into play more for me in the waterfowl loads. I can get 1 1/16 oz rather than the 3/4 or 7/8. Bismuth in the 28 gives me the load I need to take my pea shooter in the duck swamps. The TSS 2.75 loads are fine for turkeys. If I could afford it, I would load up TSS for ducks too, but that is out of my price range, lol. Z
