[@ReviewThisThing]

The giveaway has ended. Thanks for watching!

Awesome video for sure. I have that gun and settled on a trulock 515 choke. It shoots so many loads so well it was hard to pick one. I settled on the salt creek loads but it was a close race between viper 8.5x9.5 and the verdict 9.

[@ReviewThisThing]

I got some of the Viper 8.5/9/5, so I'm pretty pumped to try it out.

Who won the gun?

[@ReviewThisThing]

Mike B. He has been notified and responded. Our other winners haven’t responded yet, so there’s still a chance for 2-3 prizes.

Do you prefer the 28 over the 20

[@outdoorswithroostercurrie6984]

I just got my SA28 in this week and a quick trip to the Range Saturday and to say I’m extremely excited is an understatement. I was disappointed with the TruLock Choke and as of now I’m going with the PatternMaster CB Turkey 515 and Viper #9’s. What have yall experienced to be the best Choke / Load combination yall have tested ?

The 28 guage may be the sweet spot for performance vs recoil,that gun hammers👍

[@brianguest238]

Good video keep it up

[@ReviewThisThing]

Thanks so much! We appreciate you watching!!!

[@jameyfarley5696]

Another great video! And Is there any chance y’all may test the Jebs, & Indian creek chokes in that gun?

[@ReviewThisThing]

There is, in fact, a 100% chance. 😁 Stay tuned! And thank you for watching!

In my house we are running nothing but 28's now. I was a 410 shooter the last 8yrs. My gf stayed with a 12. I use to build guns for buddies and had a blast doing it. From yrs experience the 28 has always produced the best lead patterns. Well I bought my gf a moss/sa28 running a 515 patternmaster and verdict ammo. With 2 misses in 2 yrs I have convinced her get rid of that factory bead. She still tags out. Lol Now I took my moss/sa28 field version and converted it. I'm running a ff3 sight same ammo and choke. I think I've built the most forgiving turkey gun for youth and adults. And now my favorite. I been at this since I was 12 now I'm 46. From sporting clays to turkey hunting the 28 isn't going nowhere anytime soon. If built right a 410 is the least forgiving turkey gun out there. I use to paper tune 350 shots/yr with 12s. 200 shoots with 20s. These small bores is a breath of fresh air.

[@ReviewThisThing]

It definitely sounds like Tube got out figured out. They are awesome!

[@tigea9078]

I'm not bashing Apex. But me and a fella talked on the phone from Apex and I was looking for advice and what I was doing wrong with 3 different 410s I was building. Trying to get their ammo to run decent in those guns. I had 3 other least favorite loads out preforming it. I was told to clean between shots, I did with no improvements. Then I was told I was the only one with this issue in a VERY demeaning way. I give thanks to that fella because he made me shop elsewhere. Now I'm more than satisfied with my builds.

[@ReviewThisThing]

@tigea9078 you definitely gotta go with what works. I hate to hear that, though.

[@tigea9078]

@@ReviewThisThingi was a big fan of Hevi13 back in the day when they had buffered loads. After quality went down hill I jumped to the small bores. And haven't shot a 12ga turkey load since. The last 4 turkeys I've tagged in ky the combined yardage hasn't exceeded 55yrds. Its been yrs since I've shot one over 35yrds. A good old tight lipped bird gets me pumped. Slides in on ya looking. There is no better feeling than being caught off guard and saying "how can I make this happen". Nothing against those loud mouth 2yo birds they make you feel good too.

[@ReviewThisThing]

@tigea9078 😁 both are fun for sure! I like the loud ones! They’re usually a little dumber 😆

[@tjsochacki6164]

You guys are awesome! Thank you so much for the research you do for all the hunters!

[@ReviewThisThing]

We really enjoy it! Thank you for watching!

[@Hatch61]

That 28 really performs well. I have everything from 10 to 410, with the exception of the 28. I may have to fix that. Thanks for another enjoyable review, be well my friends, and God bless.

[@ReviewThisThing]

It’s pretty dang sweet for sure

[@vashmatrix5769]

Great review!

[@ReviewThisThing]

Thank you!

[@jasonbowlin7562]

can you try some apex Greenleaf in that 28 ga

[@ReviewThisThing]

Yes. Yes I can. Stay tuned!

[@kevinweaver4630]

I have the same gun. Shooting the factory choke (520) that came with the gun, I am getting a similar pattern as you with the Rogue ammunition. Thank you for your time testing these loads.

[@ReviewThisThing]

Thank you for watching! It’s a great gun! Did you see this one? kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYnYhX15r8uMjMUsi=dFHbL_QgZ1fuWUC0

[@kevinweaver4630]

Thank you for the link. I shot the verdicts load too. It’s nice, the rogue seemed little more even for me.

[@ReviewThisThing]

Good luck and let us know how it goes!

[@Longtrailside]

Thats a turkey dinner right there! 👍

[@ReviewThisThing]

You got that right!

[@brianhoxworth3881]

9- 9.5 shot for turkeys? Seems a bit small. I mean thats a clay target shot size. Ive always thought 6 shot is the smallest you should use for large birds. Please explain the idea.

[@ReviewThisThing]

Absolutely-you are correct if you’re talking about lead shot. But these are TSS (tungsten) loads. Tungsten is denser than lead, so you can put a lot more smaller shot in a load without losing power or velocity. So…more pellets coming just as hard. They’re smaller, but there’s a lot of them. Does that help?

[@brianhoxworth3881]

@ReviewThisThing ahh..tungsten, thanks!

[@ReviewThisThing]

@brianhoxworth3881 yep!

[@stuartcrane9409]

Non ported chokes shoot better patterns!

[@ReviewThisThing]

We’ve seen great results out of both!
