Yes
I had a Tristar for my daughter. I had Hal’s 1.5 oz load. Something about that gun and the perceived recoil. I hated it. The trigger guard always seems to hit my middle finger in an odd way when I shot it.
The pattern was pretty tight at 40 yards. I shot it too Shaun. Kicked like a mule. Worse than 1 5/8 20 gauge. He had it set up for his daughter to shoot, but ended up letting her shoot 1 3/8 in a 20 and was much better.

Good gosh why can’t Benelli or retay make a 28 Ga with a 21” barrel??? I would can my 20’s. My 1100 28ga is just too nice to be a turkey gun.

We’ve got a light 20 with a 28” modified barrel. My youngest son turkey and squirrel hunts with it. That thing will knock a squirrel out from a long way with lead 6s.

I was toying with the idea of getting a Steven's o/u in the 28 ga. Just didnt see the need to buy a new Turkey gun. I've already have 2 12 gauges, a 20, and the 410. But for now I'm not going down that road. Since I'm usually using the 20 all the time, but planning on using the 410 more next year.

if i hadnt taken up hunting i might have became a juvenile delinquent or worst taken up GOLF

I just bought a mossberg sa28 to do this. I have a yildiz o/u but never hunted with it much. I wasn’t pleased with the patterns.
I think I have two of his loads but can’t remember which one I tried.
Anxious to get the mossberg set up. I have a 525 Indian creek on the way.
Do you want to hear him gobble, or do you want to kill him.

I’ll shoot it but it’d be tough on a youngster. That skinny buttstock always finds a way into my already weathered rotator cuff haha

I shot some factory #9 TSS through the flush full choke on a 28 gauge Beretta A-400 and it's a 40 yard turkey gun.

I found an 870 Wingmaster 28ga years ago and ordered all the components for Hal's recipes. I have everything still unopened in the box from Midway or Ballistic products as i never got around to toying with the 28. If anyone in the 28ga game is interested in the components, let me know. Sent you a Pm
