It sounds like you and I share the same results with a 28 ga. It kills birds, and clays, much better than it should, for such a small shot charge. It is my favorite ruffed grouse/wood cock gun. I have been able to up the hunting ammo shot charge with Ballistic Products 28 ga. wads. I can even get a 1 oz load, patterning well, with BPs 1 oz wad. Not sure why I need it, but I have loaded some, to try for late season grouse.
