if it goes bang and your on target dont matter what load you are using

I agree within reason. I thought it was me missing the point.   When I was a youngster, I might have asked the same questions.   Now I know that chokes and shot sizes, only matter if you worry ab

If you exclude the beak a pigeons head is under 1 square inch so the chances of that extra kill are about 1 in 30.   I used to use 32g no 6 for pigeons. One day I was short of 32g 6s and took with m

Depends what you are shooting.

 

I use 19 and 21 gram 7's on pigeons, out of my 28 bore no problem, out to 30-35 yards.

 

28 grams of 7 shot should be no problem.

 

It's a question of skill and mental belief.

 

Now if you are talking about rabbit, crow, duck pheasant etc, then you will need to seriously limit your range.

Buy less cartridges but the same 30/32 grams 7s fine over deeks to 25 yards Ive been shooting black and golds 8s very pricy but boy they kill them near a 90% kill ratio .

How many rounds do you fire in a year normally .

What kill to cartridge ratio are you getting with 7s in 28grams load. I get 75 to 80 birds per hundred with 30/32grams

Surely that depends on what you are shooting and how good a shot you are!

 

Just use them and see how you get on!!

nothing wrong with 28g 7's mate, they are as good as the shooter,

like someone said getting the choke right is important for getting

a good pattern at a distance you like to shoot.

if unsure see if your local clay shoot has a pattern plate

and try different chokes, you will see the difference.

put it this way if you put the shot in the right place

upto around the 40 yard mark then the shell will do the job
