The weather finally cooperated with my work schedule and I got to shoot the 28 ga contender.
Apex 9.5’s at 40 yds was good for 139.
I’m going to adjust the Burris fast fire down a click or two and I’ll be good to go.
These are barrels from the t/c custom shop before they closed. Match Grade Machine did the vent ribs and the tubes are from Colonial Choke and Tool.

Re: 28 ga contender Apex patterns
Is that load a 1 3/8oz or a 1.5oz?
How many more pellets in the 10 you think you’ll pick up when re adjusting the site?
Beautiful Encore!

Re: 28 ga contender Apex patterns
This is a 28ga CONTENDER. These are uber rare.
That is probably as good as it gets. I purposely moved the ring up a little because the pattern was most dense about 3 inches above the bullseye. A few clicks should help with that.

Very nice! MGM is starting to make 410, 28, 20 and 12 barrels for the TCs. 410 and 28 for the Contender.

Re: 28 ga contender Apex patterns
I’ll have to check on the load. Everything is at th farm.
MGM is making the 410’s with base barrel starting at $395 . They have been promising the 28ga forever. I wanted to get a chance to see just what the tss would do.

139 seems low. A 28 gauge shooting 9's or 9.5's has more potential than that.

I hope to be testing the 28ga shells here in a week or 2. Weather is just starting to be better.
