To each his own, but I've never understood why someone would want to shoot a 1 oz. load in a 28 ga. If you need 1 oz of shot, it performs much better in a 20, 16, or 12 gauge. Patterns with a 1 oz. load in a 28 gauge are not as efficient as the 3/4 oz. as pattern studies have proven. The recoil is staggering as well.
