General 28 Gauge Question

[Bruce Hering]

My experience has been with a Remington 1100 28 with 26" barrel and a non-descript sxs. The skeet choked 1100 took a bunch of woodcock and quail over broke (steady) bird dogs. I shot a lot of doves in good fields with this gun and choke but eventually got a full choke barrel and had it opened to .020 and was very satisfied with its performance with loads of #8's.

I prefer 28" barrels on sxs's and have never felt encumbered by them.

The sxs was choked at about .003 and .020 and it worked quite well on both quail and woodcock. That was with a 28" set of barrels.

JMHO....

You got scammed by your gunsmith. .020 is full choke in a 28. He probably never touched your 1100 barrel.

Oh well.... That was many years ago. Water under the bridge. I think I saw a listing of chokes by gauge and the .020 was listed as I mod for the 28. Likely mis read by me.....
