28ga Fun

Pulled out the Citori Gran Lightning 28ga yesterday for a little fun. I didn't quite get a limit but should have. One of those days when the shooting was a bit off. One of those guns that is a pure pleasure to shoot.

28 is my favorite dove gun

I just pulled the trigger on another one, so to speak. I have the Ruger Red Label 28 and that is my all time favorite shotgun. My wife kept stealing it so I decided to find her one. The prices of the Red Labels are out of this world now so I dropped $500 on a CZ Redhead 28 for her. Either way I get to shoot a 28 again when we hunt together.

Here is the link to the one I just bought.

Love my Citori 28, I want to shoot some ducks with it in the timber this year.

I am choosing duck loads right now. I have a chouice twix #7 or #5 pellet. &s in bismuth would be a killer in the timber. At 25 yards that should "whack dat arse". But then again the #5 pellet is what I grew up shooting, in lead of course. #5s hit really hard!

It's a great round for ducks over decoys.

I have a honey hole that's tight shooting the wood ducks and gadwall just drop in on your head and I thought it would be fun shooting them with a sub gauge, what ammo do you shoot I was thinking hevi metal 4's or 5's

I think I have decided on Bismuth #5 pellet for ducks

A 28 will roll ducks up like a window shade.

Love the 28, got one for my daughter to bird hunt with.

I love my Red Label 28, and have been using it on the doves so far this season. Planning on trying it for the ducks as well, I may roll my own though. What are the prices like on 28 gauge steel loads.

I thought you bought that Red Label for her.

I found some Winchester 6's on sale for $100 shipped last year at Roger's. They should be great for teal. Last year on late season KS mallards they were fine on the first shot at decoying birds 10-20 yards, but I'd say I crippled 75% on my second shot when they flushed out of the hole.

I reloaded some 7/8oz #7.5 Hevi-shot @ 1350fps. Those were flat unfair on those birds. I felt I could kill them just as far as my 12ga with #3 steel.

So did she!

I love my Remington 1100 in 28 ga and I get three shots if needed.

The gun is for rent for new shooters at the Poetry Shooting Club.

Well Wayne I thought I got ya good on this one, but guess I'm wrong...

I got home last night and told her i got her something. She guessed it right away. She hit the nail on the head and said "A .28 ga". Thats crap!!!

All this 28ga talk makes me want to go buy an auto loader....Maybe a new a400

Love my 28 Browning

Got to get out this afternoon for my first dove hunt this year. Took my Franchi 48 AL 28 gauge. Lots of fun. Only ended up with 4 in a little over an hour.

Got to use my Benelli Ultra-Light 28 ga. for the first time on opening day. Will take some time to adjust but it was fun using it.
