I exclusively use only 1 oz loads in my three 28 gauge shotguns. Not much into "clay" pigeon shooting, but live birds like turkeys, crows and barn yard pigeons they are just deadly and I have a lot more fun shooting a 28 than a 20 gauge. I have about 25 boxes of #7 1/2 and 25 of #6 shot in stock at the moment. I mostly use my SxS and single barrel for turkey hunting, but my "go to" pigeon & crow gun is my Benelli Ethos 3" 28 gauge. And at 5 lb 5 oz, it is easy to keep up with those diving and darting black devils coming to the owl/crow decoys and a lot more fun than shooting the "orange birds" that always seem to me to be on a more predictable course and I don't have to pay anyone for a few hours of shooting each time I go out.
