History of 28 Gauge Shotgun Shells

While over a hundred years old, the 28 gauge shotgun shell is the up-and-coming round in the shotgun world. It’s used in skeet shooting and upland bird hunting and provides a valuable alternative to the traditional.

Although not as popular as other small-bore shotgun shells, the 28 gauge is capable, effective, and easy to shoot. It continues to grow in popularity, and more shooters find a use for it year after year, primarily due to the instinctual way firearms chambered for the round fire.

    I got a good deal in Mesa buying three flats. It shoots well, However I have such a hard time reloading the spent hulls. I find the Winchester AA HS and the Federal Top Gun is much easier. Also I have had the Fiocchi hulls blow in half after about the third or 4th reload. I use the 20/28 and the 572 powder. Don't know if this is a factor, but is my experience!
