I'm wanting to start loading for the 28ga and with the ongoing powder issues am considering using longshot powder simply because it's one that still available.
I would appreciate any input from those who have used Longshot for 28ga 3/4oz target type loads.
Thanks!!

Paul,
I am currently using Longshot, Fed. hulls, CB 1034 wads, 14 gr Longshot in a 3/4Oz load. Works well for me. I use the 12A mec bushing.

Paul,
I use the posted recipe on the manufacturer’s site for it using Cheddite hulls and primers, guilandi wad from Ballistic Products. Works great for me.

I use Longshot in my 28ga loads too.
Keavin;
That Federal hull is a straight wall hull as are the straight wall Rio's, Fiocchi and other Euro hulls I use. I am using the CB5034 HS wads meant for straight wall hulls.
How do those CB 1034 wads do in your load as they are meant for tapered hulls
Reason I asked is I have a boatload of those 1034's and would love to use them up.

Thanks guy's, I knew the brain trust here would have the answers to my questions. Just hearing the great responses gives me confidence that Longshot is the way to go for me.
I like the recipe Chris posted using the AAHS hulls simply because I have a boatload of once fired AA hulls in both the old compression formed and HS versions. Now I need to shop around for the best deal on the powder and get busy cranking out some rounds.
Thanks again to everyone---You're the best!!
