I see 28 gauge shot shells for sale all over the place, I’ve never known of anyone personally that owns a 28, must not be many around since I keep seeing ammo on shelves in different places.
In the USA it has has always been associated with the connoisseur that wants a gun with about the same shot charge of a fully loaded .410, but a superior pattern. Over seas there is also a 24 and 32 gauge shotguns.My wife trying to help out with the ammo brought home two boxes of 28 gauge shells not long ago thinking they were 20 gauge. Now I think I will just try and find a 28 gauge shotgun to use them. It would probably be easier than finding someone that would trade me some 20 gauge for them. I have always been intrigued by the 28 gauge anyway.
I own a full choke H&R breakopen. Someday I may sell it. I purchased some brass hulls for reloading for it.I’m looking for a good used single shot 28 gauge, was in a Walmart yesterday and saw plenty of 28 gauge ammo on the shelf, no other ammo available but the 28. Guess I should buy several boxes now in case I run up on a gun for it.
There are a few sets on Gun Broker..I have a Remington 1100 28 gauge it came in a matching set with a 410( I do not have the 410) this set was actually numbered 410 would love to be able to find the match to my 28
Pm me if your interested in parting with the H&RI own a full choke H&R breakopen. Someday I may sell it. I purchased some brass hulls for reloading for it.
