I see brass cases at Midway. I would like to handload it.

CH4D has them. http://www.ch4d.com/products/dies/caliber-list?filter-col=caliber&filter=28

Thank you.
I ordered it.
$23 + <$7 shipping = ~ $30
That is cheap compared to designing, tooling up, and building a custom part.

Old timers reloaded brass shells without resizing them. Just re-prime and go again.

No, I was going to make dies. I have a lot of 7/8-14 threaded rod, and I make a lot of Fred Flintstone style dies.

Do you have any for sale?

What are you going to use for wads? Store bought or make your own?

Nope, and I was wondering what you were using them for. Visions of Buckshot's posts of the various large BP cases/dies he's made in my mind.

I have had 28 ga wads here for 15 years.
I just needed the shotgun to fit them.

You are welcome. CH4D really offers hard to find items for reloading.

28 gauge ammo is really expensive and sometimes hard to find. It makes sense to reload for it.

A Plastic Wad Guide from MEC might be a nice addition. Also if you decide to shoot that gun very much and need some plastic hulls the place to go to find OF hulls in www.trapshooters.com.

I would also caution you that shooting it a lot will increase your desire for a nice $2000+ Over/Under Shotgun in which case you will need a MEC Reloader.

Good Luck!
