New 28 ga

[Jeff O'Neill]

I routinely use the 28" barrel set on my 28ga gun for pointed quail, though they are choked Mod and Full. To compensate I use the Polywad spreader shells, and all is well out to perhaps 30 yards.

That's good to hear Jeff, I just got in a flat of the polywad spreaders. I'm hoping they pattern well and I won't need to open up the chokes. From everything I've read they work well, and your response helps to confirm that. Weather permitting I will put them on paper this weekend and be able to share the results.

Hope it works well for you. My 26" barrel set is choked more loosely, but combined with the strap on pad I use to get LOP out to about 15" they feel very whippy. If you think you need a bit more range choice than the spreaders give you, use a spreader in the left barrel and a regular shell in the right. You'll pull the triggers in a reverse order but end up with patterns something like skeet from the left and mod from the right. Good luck!
