I can reload my 28's for less than a 12. Seeing as I won a case of RST 28's at Hausmanns, ammo won't be a problem for quite a while
. I would rather run a 22 or 23 at skeet with a 28 than 24-25 with a 12.
My VHE is straight stock, splinter forarm and double trigger. I have no problem seeing down those 28 inch skeet choked tubes.
