B &P ammo in Parker Repos
 
I would like to hear how this ammo preforms in 28 ga. guns. Any help would be helpful. Thanks Loren

I found 7.5 Extra Rosa's were very lethal for grouse. In fact I just posted about finding a supplier. I'll buy a flat when I do.

I've used a lot of #8 Extra Rosa shells on quail, both in the Parker and in other 28 bores, and like them. Shifted to Polywad spreaders in the PR, as I prefer swinging the very tightly-choked 28" barrel set.

B&P's are fine in a Repro. B&P Extra Rosa shells are the only 28ga. shells I've ever fired that actually have a little "kick" in them. Don't know what the velocity is, but it's up there. Only felt the "kick" when shooting clays. Never noticed it in the field.

This place has all the B&P shells you might want. A little to pricey for me though.

The Extra Rossa 28g are 1280 fps at about 11,300 psi

I e-mailed B&P about the Extra Rosa loads and they responded that they no longer produce those shells. They have been replaced by the Dove and Quail loads. I guess I’ll have to order a flat of those.

For what it's worth...
I shot some basic Fiochi 28 ga target loads and a comparable Rio load through my 28 gauge Reproduction and they didn't want to eject. I thought my ejectors needed cleaning or something else was happening.
I then loaded about 1/2 dozen Win AAHs 28 gauge and the gun/ejectors sent them into the stratosphere. That's my experience.
