28 ga Repro

[Gary Laudermilch]

Dean, I have no idea since we did not have any other shells to try. My friend initiated the request to pattern it because he could not hit any grouse or woodcock with it and he does not shoot clays. He was so disgusted after the patterning work that he sold the gun but I would not be surprised if just changing shells may have yielded different results. Unless you do a bunch of pattern work most shooters do not realize just how fickle shotguns can be.

I think that in order to determine how effective or ineffective .045” choke constriction in a 28 gauge Repro are you’ll need to pattern it with various loads using various shot sizes at realistic yardages for the kind of shooting you intend to do, otherwise it’s mostly guesswork.

The chart i mention is here in the FAQ section on the home page , it is #12.

Tom, the 28 gauge full choke Repro constrictions are off the chart. Parker Brothers full choke in 28 gauge is .020. Whether the "off the chart" full choke in a 28 gauge Repro is effective depends on how it looks on the pattern board. I will shoot some patterns when I get time and report back.

.044"? Wow! And I thought .044" was tight in my 12 gauge Fox Sterly

I can not even get the Galazan Dial gauge to go into the left barrel its so tight. I had to measure the bore diameter from the chamber end and mic the muzzle end.

Brett and others, what are the choke constrictions of your 28ga. 26" IC/M barrels?

The reason I'm asking is that I'm seeing some variations in 28ga. Repros IC/M and M/F choke constrictions, but the Q1/Q2 chokes are very consistantly within a thousandth or two of .004/.007.

Funny I never checked them before and to my surprise the they are right barrel .008 and left barrel .023.
