I never have been able to understand the Reason anyone would want to drop down to a 28 & then "Load it Up". A 20 gauge would be a much better choice for using 1 oz of shot. 1 oz of shot can be bought in either a Field or Express load in the 20 at much better prices than in the 28. Even if one reloads them components are much easier to come by & ore readily available. 1 oz in a 28 seems to me to be a problem much better answered with a 20. Just One persons opinion of course.
Sometimes we just enjoy trying to get something to "over-perform", Miller. I do that with a .410. I have found that the conventional wisdom about big loads in small bores equalling poor patterns is not necessarily true. My 3/4 oz. loads in my Dickinson .410 are perfectly regulated, and throw beautiful deadly patterns.
Why drop down to a smaller gauge and then load it up?................Just because we can.
