28 recipe advice

[Chris Riley]

Besides AAHS, I've also loaded Win 572 in a 2-3/4" Fiocchi hull with a Nobel 209 primer and Gualandi SG 28 wad. Per Hodgdon, the yield is 8800 psi @ 1155 fps. The load data is on the Hodgdon site. I'll have to check my notes, but I believe I added a .410 felt filler wad under the shot to improve the fold crimp.

Thank you. I have found a few loads that reference Fiocchi hulls, but I cannot find those.

Graff usually has them, as does BPI, but in 2.75", and I trim them.

I picked up some HS6 for 28 ga loads a couple years ago, but have yet to try it, 17.1 gr was the recipe.
I've got enough 20/28 to last me a lifetime since I mostly hunt, and don't shoot many clays.

20/28 is a great powder but the pressures are very high when used in the 28. There are better, cheaper and more available powders for the 28.

Cheaper means larger quantities. You can buy Unique in large kegs, if you can find it.

Good luck finding Unique. You'll have much much better luck finding Longshot which works well in the 20's and 28's and is cheaper.

I used WIN 540 for a good many years HOWEVER they don’t make it anymore . BUT Hodgdon HS-6 is said to be the same thing and the loads are about the same . I’ve also used Unique .

...and for now Longshot is readily available.
