Gentlemen,
Walmart has their 28 gauge Federal Top Gun shells on sale, for $6.97 a box. A decent cost for 3/4 Oz, 1330 FPS Federal #8's & #7 1/2's. Great shells for Grouse, Woodcock and Quail hunting. Nice for Clays also.

Just shot two boxes tonight for skeet tonight. A little snappy for my likes shooting skeet but crushes the targets. My normal reload is 1150 FPS. My boys got me several boxes for Father’s Day. |

I have been shooting a bunch of these loads myself. Won my first 28ga gun in a drawing and bought out all the shells at that price at the Walmart stores in my area.
Also getting a good price on the WAA loads with the rebate. |

Byron,
Out west in your area can you purchase a complete case of the Federal Top Gun 28's, here in Pa I am only able to purchase about 5 or 6 Boxes at a time from Walmart when they are on sale. I have to go back and purchase more when they restock the shelves.
