SG28S Sporting 28-II wad (250/bag)
The SG28-II design is based on the SG28 wad, which has been a favorite of field shooters for many years. Unlike the original SG28, the SG28-II is designed with a larger shotcup in order to accommodate loads of 5/8 oz to 7/8 oz lead shot. The progressive crush section allows this wad to be loaded in either 2-3/4" or 2-1/2" cases. This is a great wad for long-range birds. We have also used this wad to great advantage in sporting clays events. The best range for this wad is approximately 25 to 55 yards. The SG28-II is also a great option for larger shot sizes and pheasant loads. We like to use nickel-plated lead #6, 5.5, and 5 shot for these loads. The longer shotcup makes it a good choice for bismuth shot, which benefits from the protection of the longer shotcup. View sample LOAD DATA from our BP manuals SPECIFICATIONS:

Turns a 28 gauge into a 20 gauge | 11/17/2024 |
| Does a great job of putting 20 gauge loads into a 28 gauge hull. Terribly suited to building traditional 28 ga loads. Despite description that wad is suitable for 3/4 oz to 1 oz loads, the wad is completely unsuitable for 3/4 oz to 7/8 loads at 1200-1300 fps using most propellants e.g., 12 gr to 17 gr charges. The wad is marginally suitable for 7/8 oz loads at 1150-1250 fps but expect to need multiple filler wads. I had to add 0.10” to 0.15” in filler/overshot wads to get a good crimp in Fiochi, Chedite and Federal hulls with powders like Unique, 20/28, Pro Reach, Longshot, Blue Dot. This is the same wad Federal uses in its 1 oz heavy field load at 1220 fps. Ironically, BPI provides zero recipes for 1 oz loads with this wad. Considering available published recipes, the wad is probably best suited for high speed loads >1400 fps using charges in the 25-30 gr range. | ||

| Glad that we got everything sorted out for you with new 3/4 oz. loads for the SG28-II wad. The 1/4" x .422" Felt Wad (#12214422) works well to adjust shot column heights in this and other 28ga wads. | ||

Unsuitable for 3/4 oz loads without filler wads | 4/28/2023 |
| Very disappointed for use in my Fiocchi hulls. Stack height is way too low for 3/4 oz of shot, like 3/8 to 1/2 inch, depending on what powder you are using. I dont like the idea of having to buy filler wads. I should have gotten the original wad instead. | ||

| The wad you need for lighter shot charges is the original SG28. Just call our helpful staff. They are ALWAYS eager and able to solve problems. It's even easier than leaving a review! :) | ||

Beware with 7/8oz load. | 1/9/2022 |
| If youre going to use these wads with a 7/8oz load, you have to realize that the shot cup only holds 5/8oz of shot so, that means a full 1/4oz of shot is not protected by the shot cup. | ||

Not a bad wad. | 4/29/2014 |
| Be careful when loading with this wad in the 5/8 to 3/4 oz range. You need a OS card. The manual calls for it and it is a MUST for a tight pack. Its better with a 7/8 oz load. | ||
