Blowing the pattern?

I have a box of those 28 gauge WW one ounce loads in my collection. They are 2 3/4" shells. I don't know where I would find 3" 28s.

3 inch 28 ga loads are similar to those 3 1/2" 12 ga loads. Us Yankees think bigger is better when it actually works to the bottom line of the ammo companies. You can only shove so much lead down a shotgun barrel. Some fellow a while back on the 16 ga website was experimenting with a 3 inch 16 ga load. It's the Indian not the arrow.
