Greg, I've hardly ever used the 1 oz loads in a 28ga. I have hunted chickens and sharpies, early season, with a 28ga and the standard 3/4 oz loads (7 1/2's). You'll have to pass up some shots, and the 28 probably isn't the best choice on a windy day. But especially early season, you should get plenty of reasonable opportunities with good dogs.

With the 3/4 oz loads, you have the option of the standard target loads and the Sporting Clays variety. You might want to go with the latter, about 100 fps faster.

Fiocchi also makes a 7/8 oz 28ga load in their Golden Pheasant line.
