    I would be tempted to try and fill up some cases with steel or buy loaded tungsten 12 gauge and tear it down.
    I just dont get the mentality that disallows the 28 It would have been far more benificial to keep it inclusive, even it if was only in a youth permit ( for ducks ) then new / young shooters would have a better rate of success.

    DONT DO IT......steel in normal wad will scour the crap out of your barrel...steel wads are hard and thick and cover WHOLE payload.... you NEED proper wads of some sort...maybe ???could cut up .410 cases and use them as extra layer...but payload will suffer...
