You could use less powder by going to 20/28 in the 28 gauge. And it's likely cleaner than 800X. Nice that it's so versatile . . . although the 8 gauge shooting community isn't real big. I've only used 20/28 in 28, 20, and 16 gauge. In the 16: 7400 psi, 1180 fps pushing 7/8 oz target load as tested by Mr. Armbrust. The 20ga load is 7200 psi, 1200 fps pushing 3/4 oz target load. I shoot the latter in a Brit 20 that was originally 2 1/2" but lengthened to 2 3/4" and reproofed.
