Have you broken a tooth yet, biting down on one of those small, very hard pieces of shot...?
That would be my concern, using TSS on game that I'm going to eat.
DF I only use them on turkeys, so shoot head/neck on them. I haven't had a pellet in the breast.

DF I guess you're more worried about it than I am! It can't be worse than steel shot in ducks and geese which are normally shot incoming.

They do sound effective, possibly opening a new era for shotgunning. Now, if they weren’t so expensive. DF

Citori White Lightning, 28" barrels. Just got it not long ago. First round of skeet was a perfect 25.
Gonna try it on doves over a small tank that is ringed with trees.
This is my first 28 and so far I am impressed with how well it breaks clays.
There is no way to coexist no matter how many bumper stickers there are on Subaru bumpers!

Beretta 686 SP1 with 28 inch barrels.
Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.

My one and only 28. Ruger Red label that I got for a song because it was worn out. The previous owner used it for skeet. Sent it to Ruger for an estimate to rebuild and the nice customer service lady called a couple of weeks later to tell me it was done and to expect it in a few days. I told her I didn't authorize the repair because I never got a quote. She told me there was no quote because they were fixing it no charge and it didn't matter that I was not the original owner. Ruger has run out of most parts for these guns and won't repair them. Glad I did this when I did. Love this gun.

Listed in order of preference:
Beretta SP3 on the 28 frame Beretta SP3 20-28 combo on the 20 frame Remington 870 Browning White Lightning
There is no accounting for taste.
Experience is a great thing as long as one survives it.
Generally, there ain't a lot that separates the two however, Barely making it is a whole lot more satisfying than barely not making it.

SKB 385. Had an 870 but never shot it after getting the 385 so it went down the road.

Mine is a CZ Bobwhite 202b with 26” barrels and double triggers.
1.5 ounces of TSS and it stomps turkeys!

I only have two and like them both. One is Beretta silver pigeon II 28” and the other a Fausti round body. If having to choose I would go with the beretta as I have had it longer. My favorite gauge for everything but duck and goose.

Beautiful shotguns here!!
The one I use the most is an H&R 1905 single shot with IC choke - weighs a little over 4 pounds and I actually shoot it pretty good. Also have a Remington 870 choke modified that is deadly and a Remington 1100 Sporting and use a Rizzini 20/28 gauge combo and/or a Merkel 280SL when I need to be fashionable😄. The .28 is my favorite and rarely use anything else these days the weight and handling are just to good to ignore as I get older!!

I had a nice Weatherby Athena in 28 once upon a time. The Athenas fit me best of all the brands of O/U that I could try.

I only have one 28 Gauge shotgun; it is a CZ "Woodcock" with 28 inch tubes. I purchased it new in 2007 . It carries well, points well and kills very well. I've used it for pheasants and bunnies in the Midwest, "Pats" and woodcock in the UP, multiple dove hunts and two quail hunts here in the southeast .
My shotgun snob friends have decried that the CZ is cheap Turkish junk and will never hold up. I don't shoot trap or skeet with it , I bought it as a hunting shotgun and it's doing quite well .
