does anyone know where to get 28guage steel shot
Do you reload ? If you dont use much then consider TSS shot. Its bloody pricey but best performance. I looked an importing but was too expensive worked out about 150 per lb
its on the shelf down back on left,just past the unicorn poop and the fairy dust dispensers....
keep your thread alive ,hopefully SOMEONE will see it somewhere and let you know....or just ask Bunji,he is bound to have a couple of cases under the bench.
@mikee no i dont
Bugger, sadly no one will import good range of non tox 20ga loads, let alone for the 28. I have a slab left over which I can still use for upland............for now but if a duck flies over I have to just watch!Quote:

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.
Steel shot is not that pricy to buy. And a cheap reloader like a mec600. Then get a conversion kit. May seem like a expense. But once your setup. It will be easy to reload as you please.
Its more that with steel shot you have to go up a few shot sizes generally for it to be effective and there is not much in a 28ga shell to start with.Quote:

There is bismuth.. You can reload with
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...Quote:

H&F had some federal in. I ordered a slab through Giles at Taihape sports. The federal stuff patterned and killed really well for me. If you really need some I could spare a packet or two. Based in Waiouru fyi.
I meant the expensive high density shot sir.

Ha ha yes. About nz$120 per 5 i guess. They dont have 28ga listed though. Be nice to see some 1oz loads of 7's for 20g and 7/8th oz 7's for the 28 tho. That bring prices down from the 1 1/2 oz turkey loafs theyre advdrtising to at least 2/3rds of those prices. Maybe US$44 per 5, or eve less. On indent I would think $NZ could be maybe nz$65? Or perhaps the shot is available for handloads?
IF you could find tss shot .12ga loads at less than $5 per round it would be feasable to reload using donated shot...still plurry expensive but would be worth doing.if you were a 25-50 round per weekend shooter,definately an option BUT would have cheaper other loads for finishing rounds.... its actually a niche we found the wee full choked .410 excelled at....that and finishing woundies off from the boat....that is heck of a lot of fun for young shooter,being taxied around and doing all the shooting.
@mawzer308 have pm'd you
I got some from Guncity Hamilton last year
https://www.seriousshooters.co.nz/fi...rounds-1383428
Some donor cartridges.
Could perhaps look into getting a chamber adapter to go from 28ga down to 410. 19gr of lead from the 410 is probably going to be more effective and available than any steel 28ga. Don't know how doable this is but could be worth a look.
was thinking about that today, will have a look into itQuote:
