1st time in hide with the new 28 bore. Using 24g no5. Managed 41 in 3hrs  very pleased with it was fun to shoot a light load ..grebb

Lovely job, what’s the 28 bore it looks a smart thing

[grebb 50]

It’s a Kofs sceptre  multi choke ejecter  new only £450  seems good value 

[grebb 50]

Think they make all sizes from 410 up to 12 all around same price 

[Stavross 15,542]

Can’t go wrong at that price, it does the same job as the rest of them

Nice going mate , only thing is using the smaller bores folk think you use it  for less recoil due to the onset of old age

Nice outing with an under rated round ..friend has shot one for the last couple of years to great effect ..

[grebb 50]

Old age    Be 410 next with 16g loads !!

You had a good shoot there. 41 in 3 hrs is good going. What cartridges were you using?  I have two 28s one is an AyA no.2 rounded  action and the other is an investarm o/u. The AyA is a beautiful  quality gun whereas the investarm is a very basic tool. The onĺy reason that I have the investarm is that I bought it in an auction with a load of cartridges and electric ear defenders and òther stuff that was brand new. Although it is an agricultural tool it knocks stuff down very well. The 28 has surprised me how well it shoots and takes stuff down. The only downside is the cost of cartridges, so I found a Mec grabber reloader and churn out my own.  I'd be interested to see some more close ups of he gun that you have. Where did you get it from? The standard 28 load is 21 grams of 6 shòt which equates to a 3/4 oz load whi h is an even lighter load but with excellent performance . Again a good time out in the field and looķ forward to more pictures .

The 5s certainly did the business but is would have had more pellets and a better pattern. Only the Americans !,, they buckle the truth a bit.  an Interesting read with a pinch of salt. The second link has a better balance of truth.
