    28 Gauge Copper Shotshells Details

    Bismuth is out. Copper is in.

    The next generation of non-toxic shotshells is here. Boss Copper delivers the same trusted performance our Legacy Copper-Plated Bismuth shells were known for. Tight patterns, lethal penetration, and consistency you can count on - now engineered in copper.

    Here's the run down:

    Boss Copper packs 94% the density of bismuth but brings 3× the hardness - meaning those pellets don’t deform as much. They cut through the air clean, with less drag and more consistency. The result? Uniform, punishing patterns that stay tight downrange and punch with identical penetration in ballistic gel.

    Copper’s softer than steel, so it’s old gun and fixed-choke friendly. Thirty-yard spreads are dialed-in tight with F-IM-Mod, and long shots sing with IM to Mod. Early field reports echo what we heard with bismuth - same knockdown power, same confidence - minus one thing: fragmentation.

    This is the next era of Boss performance. 

    • Available in 2 3/4" or 3"

    28 Gauge 3" 3/5 shot ( Verified Buyer )

    Only had chance to use on 3-4 Canada geese @ 25-35 yds,, over decoys. Really hit hard and I am convinced to use on future goose hunting trips. I do use a 28 gauge for sporting clays, so I am partial to the 28

    Couldn't be more pleased with the new copper loads , im shooting the 3in #4 shot in 28gaSB3 . Packs a punch ,and knocks em dead . Love the little recoil associated with the 28ga. My 2nd, 3rd shot are much easier on birds , as i never black out with the 28ga like I did with a 12ga . Would highly recommend them

    I went duck hunting with my best friend and there wasn’t a duck flying so when we packed up and were heading out the dog kicked out some rabbits. I got two one shot each with the 28 gauge #5 copper. Excellent performance and I was checked out by DEC for non toxic shot and even he was impressed with it
    Great!! ( Verified Buyer )

    As I expected, very impressed!! Coupled with a Benelli, was taking out Sea Ducks in MA with no problems at all. Rolled an Old Squaw at 30-40 yards. Well worth it and will continue to purchase and promote. Thanks

    Bought the Copper 3/5 3” in 28ga. First time out had no regrets on the purchase. Makes the 28ga a viable choice on the water
    Great ( Verified Buyer )

    Patterned with a Benelli 28 gauge, Mueller Decoy Choke. Great at 25 yards, not at 25 yards. They penetrated half way thru a 1/2 board. They ought to kill.
    Looking forward

    Used the 28 gauge copper 3-5’s for the Arkansas split the last two days. Took down everything I shot at and hit. Very pleased with the shells. Folks in the pit with me also took notice what copper could do. I will be buying lots more.

    Shot the 3" 5's last weekend on ducks. This stuff is bad ass. Can't wait for the next push of birds. Best stuff money can buy rite here from BOSS. Don't waste your money anywhere else.
    Copper 28 are an absolute pile driver! ( Verified Buyer )

    If you know sea ducks, you know they are hard to kill cleanly sometimes. This past weekend I took them out sea duck hunting and killed birds more stone dead than l've done in my life. There's something special about how these shells hit! I'm super impressed!
