Pound for pound and energy for energy, it’s been known for decades that a 28 gauge is the best and most consistent patterning shotgun caliber. It’s nicknamed the “magic” caliber.
Both are pretty dang good patterns. Super hot cores for sure. I did get a kick out of Jake talking about the 20ga being a heavier option now that the 28ga has grown in popularity. I guess I am just a little biased carrying a 10ga. Great job guys. 👍🏻
Personally I like the tests that have same gun same loads and 3 different constrictions.I like whatever patterns you put on paper.Keep up the good work
I have that same Beretta in 20ga and the same Mossberg turkey in 20 ga also. Happy with how they both pattern. Mossberg is the primary and the beretta will be a backup if needed. At this time I have no desire to get a 28 ga but when I do it will probably be a Beretta or franchi.
@@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA meh,,,, one can do MORE with a 2 3/4” - 3” 20ga than a 2 3/4” 28ga. A 20’s payload can shrink and get smaller with minimal recoil or compete rather closely with payload of a 12ga 2 3/4” shell. But the 28 can never get any heavier payload if needed. Ammo options with the 20 are just superior when compared to a 28. Don’t get me wrong, I love my Beretta 687 SPIII in 28ga. It’s a fun gun.
7oz difference between the two guns... Splitting hairs as far as weight on the guns. 20 gauge has more ammunition and payload options, as well as aftermarket choke options... Im not knocking the 28... I love shooting it. Just thinking out loud.
That may be true but more options doesn’t always mean it’s better it provides more tinkering, that sa28 in my honest opinion doesn’t even need an aftermarket choke, that stock 520 is filthy across the board with tss from 1 1/4 Oz to 1 5/8 Oz payloads Same with the tristars as it’s the same gun essentially 🤣🤣
Very cool! How about the same test with your Beretta 28 and the Beretta 20 and open that 28 gauge choke up to Indian creek 520 Show down between the Beretta's. Thanks for doing what you do!
I would like to see two shots with the same load and set up. Like the one that had the finger that went down the left side. Shoot again to see if it does the same thing. Next time you see something like that just shoot again to compare
Have a 20 O/U. Been considering the same model in 28 because I just can't take recoil like I used to. Arthritis, ruptured discs, bulges discs. Would like to hunt a few doves with the grandsons.
Another one I’m glad you did. That’s something I thought of doing. But you saved me from the expense of doing it. I’m just wondering which one of you three will venture into a 16 gauge first
So which do you prefer? I just got my SA28 and I LOVE it so far. I’m actually thinking about getting rid of my 12ga. due to Neck and Shoulder problems.
@@tonypeede730 yea but won’t be taking over my 20 gauge. Depends on the person in reality when it comes to turkey hunting these 2 gauges are pretty similar.
I agree to an extent BUT increasing payload size doesn’t always mean getting the optimal pattern out of the setup sometimes it can be the exact opposite… most of the time actually I’ve seen smaller 28 gauge 1 1/4 payloads out pattern 1 5/8 Oz payloads time & time again and that goes for in 410, 20 & 12 gauge as well (different payload weights of course)
Both patterns were funky like Big Reds ass crack! I personally like the 20 better. Once Rossi makes a 28 I'll probably make the switch. I like to move, and prefer the light weight booms. The recoil of the Rossi 20 is insane. Remember 👦 and 👧 BHKB BEARD HITS KILL BIRDS BHM BEARD HITS MATTER BCO 4 LIFE 30K ALL DAY LFG!
It’s tss my guy Tss is 18.1-18.3 g/cc whereas lead is 11 g/cc 9 shot tss is the equivalent to 4 shot lead just you get twice or more the pellet count depending on the load

Yessir indeed!
They both look pretty good to me. I been stocking up on that Apex GT-20 in 3 inch. I am glad y’all put these videos out. It helps me out.
That’s why we do it!

I want to get 10 & 16 gauge options on the channel for next turkey pattern series! Then we can cover all gauges!
28 is going to be my new turkey set. That my favorite gauge. Thanks for doing what you do
You betcha!
Personally I like the tests that have same gun same loads and 3 different constrictions.I like whatever patterns you put on paper.Keep up the good work
I love them as well!
WHAT I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO TELL BCO IT'S A BETTER COMPARISON BETTER REVIEW. MUTIPLE CHOKES SAME GUN SAME DAY SAME AMMO.
@DEVILDOG1964 like we’ve been telling you everytime we’ve done this a bunch and will keep doing this a bunch 🤣🤣
IF YOU SAY SO SAME GUN, SAME AMMO, SAME DAY, DIFFERENT CHOKES SIDE BY SIDE COMPARISONS???@@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA

Nice!
Great analogie on both patterns! We can't use anything smaller than a 20 gauge in Illinois! Good luck with everything my friend!
That is tough!!
Love my 28 and 20 bores. But I still prefer my 20’s. Period.
28 gauge is king
Period.

@colt10mmsecurity68 I was just copying your comment style, don’t take me serious all the time 🤣🤣
But regardless 28 gauge is king always
You all got me wanting a28 like them better every time you pattern them
Hard not to!

28’s are very fun guns they flat out pattern
Another one I’m glad you did. That’s something I thought of doing. But you saved me from the expense of doing it. I’m just wondering which one of you three will venture into a 16 gauge first
I’m saving up currently for a 16 gauge but it ain’t cheap funding the channel so it may take a bit
Pawn shops... I have two 16's now... Too much fun.
I’m not even sure if we even have a pawn shop round here 🤣🤣🤣
how reliable has your beretta 20 gauge been ? And how many rounds do you have through it ?
@christurnerct49 she’s a stud!
I'm really liking the 28ga. I have a 20 but that 28 is Sweet
28’s are perfect
So which do you prefer? I just got my SA28 and I LOVE it so far. I’m actually thinking about getting rid of my 12ga. due to Neck and Shoulder problems.
What was the difference in recoil?
It’s to little to tell
Thanks for the effort.
But to be a true comparison it has to the same everything. Guns, choke and ammo.
Well that can’t happen as it’s two different gauges 🕺🏼🕺🏼
Is there a noticeable difference in recoil?
You know I never actually pay attention 🤣🤣
Is there much difference in weight per pellet of shot? Would the twenty hit at a higher velocity and more energy?
Depends on the loads fps
I like the 28 gauge pattern but I can get 1-7/8 or even 2oz with a 20 gauge and a 28 can’tz
You don’t need a 1 7/8 Oz in a 28 to hammer… or in a 20 gauge for that matter
@@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA not saying you do but it is nice to have the option to up the payload.
28 gauge diffently has potential.

I don’t hunt turkeys but you really hunt them with 9 shot?
It’s tss my guy
Tss is 18.1-18.3 g/cc whereas lead is 11 g/cc 9 shot tss is the equivalent to 4 shot lead just you get twice or more the pellet count depending on the load
What Choke
lol my man it’s in the first minute of the video, before each shot, and before looking at each pattern for both guns
At the 3:10 mark I know im getting a sa28
Yessir!
Put An Indian Creek .555 And Problem Solved
Why would I make my pattern worse?
The IC .555 doesn’t pattern how I want my setup to pattern
The .562 is far better than the .555
