Hh Mike S, Academy, of all places, has the load I mentioned above, 20 ga 7/8 AA @ 980. Bought a box to try. Lots of things interfering with my usual goof off retirement, but I'm going to the farms/ranches Friday to pick up grandchildren. I'm packing the Superposed and the Montefeltro to give them a shakedown even if just on European Collared Dove (no closed season) to see if they function in either of the guns. Those loads are a bit more shot and a little less velocity than the 28 High brass. Cross your fingers.
Those shells are a bit expensive @ almost $8 per box, but we are not talking high volume shooting. I will be happy to use a flat of them per year. Even at twice that, it beats buying another gun for upwards of a grand and 28s are not cheap either, plus other than the attendant bruising, I am happy with both pieces. As said before, I could pad the Benelli with a softer product, but a saw will never touch the Browning as long as I am upright.
Jack
