[QUOTE="26Reload, post: 1431841, member: 99519"] I would look for a 1200fps load of #6 and do a pattern test...should be pretty good with any 28 gauge full choke or modified out to 30 yards....and if you call it in closer...well...it will be just as dead...just more bloody..... I did some hand loads a few years ago...my son at 9 and I were busting clays quite well....I went to truck and grabbed the rf and it said 50 yards....it was a 3/4+ oz. load...probably at about 1250fps... it was #6 shot....they make a 15/16oz load now.....even 1oz.....but really all they do is give a few extra pellets and a bit more recoil... My 28's are TriStars O/U at 4.8# and semi at 5.4#.....liteweight but I put SIMS pads on all guns..other than 22s...no sore shoulders or pinch points....just shoot.... Let your kid practice on a plastic Pepsi bottle...shooting at the area below the cap.....the excitement of seeing the bottle flung around will enticem' to shoot more.....pull the trigger as much as possible... Another is a ball of some kind at the bottom of a little hill..shoot it..make it go up the hill..before it rolls down shoot again...good game to play.....except if the gun is a semi and you pull the plug....box of shells disappears really fast.....buy lots..offer them up on a shotgunners sight at a nickle a hull......
