OK, Herr Flammenwurfer- I'll keep it simple-- "If it's not broken, don't mess with it. Why shoot a 3" 28 gauge shell, instead shoot a std. 20 gauge 2&3/4" shell. save yourself some bucks so you can enjoy more grits. I like the Palmetto instant variety, with maple syrup instead of oatmeal for breakfast. I also like grits with ham and red eye gravy-- RWTF

A 3” 28 ga shell is just dumb.

I think one oz is too much for 28 ga and there're bigger gauges for it as The Fox said.
28 ga, hammerguns and all shotguns and rifles made by hands. Waidmannsheil 🌿📯

3/4 of a oz seems to be perfect for our 28s. I gave away 2 cases of 1 oz loads I was given by a friend who passed away and the the family had me stop by and pick up the ammo in the basement. My buddy took one case. We shoot a lot of doves together where he was using a 28 gage over and under with 3 inch chambers. The one oz loads I noticed a louder report with a little more jump from the gun.
Birds were just as dead with 3/4 oz load as the 1 oz loads.
I saw a YouTube Video where a couple of guys were shooting 28 gauge 1 3/8 oz loads of TSS 9.5, pattern was crazy good I would not think twice pulling the trigger with that load.
I believe benelli Worked with fiocchi to develop the shell for their ethos shotgun.

I was told the 3 inch 28 gauge came along to compete with the 3 inch 20 gauge for waterfowl and pheasant.
With waterfowl the density of non-lead shot is an issue, so the larger payload is handy. And of course for shooting at pheasants, the heavier payload allows a person to carry the lightweight 28 gauge gun.
Out there doing it best I can.

Tell us more about the 1 3/8 ounce load for the 28. How long was the shell?

TSS 9.5 at 13g/cc can put the big payload in the 3” hull

Lessee ......... a 3" 28 ga. is dumb, so a 3" .410 must be dumber? Reasoning(?) being ....... if you can't do it with 1/2 oz. in a .410, go to 3/4 oz. in a 28? If that won't do it go to a 7/8 oz. in a 20, and if that won't do it go to a 1 oz. load in a 16? And, again, if that won't do it go to a 1 1/8 oz. 12 ga. load. But, what about the excellent 11/16 and 3/4 oz. loads for the .410, and the excellent 1 oz. load in a 20, much less the excellent loadings for the 3" 20 ga., and the great 1 1/8 oz. 16 ga. loads, and I guess just forget about 1 1/4, 1 3/8, and 1 5/8 oz. loads for the 12s. This argument goes nowhere, IMO.
I hunted quail this afternoon that were released last August. Many covey rises were like wild birds. I shot a 3/4 oz. load of nickel plated 8s in 3" .410 handloads for awhile, then switched to my 28, again with 3/4 oz. loads. There was no difference in the way the two 3/4 oz. loads killed. None. May be dumb to use a 3/4 oz. load in a 3" .410 shell, but I like them, a lot. The quail ...... not so much.
May God bless America and those who defend her.
