Ballistic Products put together 28ga steel loads? Never heard of those. Do tell.
I have done some work on 28ga steel as well as some amazing Hevi shot loads.
280gr steel load over 1400 fps and under max pressure and a 7/8 oz hevi load at 1325 fps and about 9500 psi.
I would like to hear more about those Ballistic Products loads. What components and what performance.

Yes, they put out a "technical Guide" with data for 28ga and 410ga using their components for 1/2oz loads(2 of #6or7 shot. The guide also includes data for heavey shot. Would you be willing to share your info? We are looking at a lead shot ban here in Mn.

Would be very cautious with steel or HEVI-SHOT in a 28 gauge without tough wads. BPs 2nd Edition 28 gauge does give loads for both steel and HEVI-SHOT using their HV28 wad+Mylar coiled inside for bore protection.
Doubt if there will be enough demand to warrent developing a Multi-Metal wad for the 28 as they did for the sixteen.
I load bismuth 3/4 ounce loads for my 28. Better safe than sorry. |

| I would agree that it would be safer to load bismuth, but where do you get any now????? |

Go with nice shot from ecotungsten. Loads in the same wads, powder, and primer as lead. Ya it costs $25.00 a lbs. but how many loads are you talking here? That's my 2 cents, so take it for what it's worth.
Good luck and happy shooting
