    Best loads for dove....

    All I can find are low brass 7 1/2. They aren't worth buying in my opinion. What factory loads do you have the best luck with? Come on September 1st!

    20 ga low brass or aluminum 7.5s is my choice.............

    Just put the BBs where the bird is going to be...

      I don't shoot doves with a shotgun. I prefer a BB gun or a slingshot.

        You forgot about the blowgun.

          RIO makes some AWESOME high brass loads.... That is all I shoot. They are more expensive than that popcorn loads you can buy at Wal-Mart.

              I buy them in Uvalde at the Oasis Outback. I don't know where else you can get them at. Just look for a load that has MAX DRAM and is High Brass and you will be just fine......

                Just my opinion, but if you need to shoot high brass loads to kill doves, then you probably need to spend more time at the range.

                  I shoot the Remington Sure Shot heavy dove.. It seems to do the job and it isn't the cheapest stuff out there but it is not the most expensive either.. I do it with a 20 gauge

                    When I bought my 1100 the man give me a case of older Remington Mohawk loads. I couldn't miss with them. Last year I shot nearly a box for every bird i killed with the Wally World specials. Maybe your right, I need to just practice more.

                      I would not bet on that one buddy..... The dove fields are my shooting range. I run dove hunters almost everyday of the dove seaon and can shoot my limit well within a box of shells. I just love high brass because to me they shoot allot better especially on the blue sky days.

                        I was spending the same on hi brass vs. the dove season specials at WM because I shoot less shell per bird.

                          I shoot AA and have been happy with them for years. Had #9 AA in the truck one day after work and had a great day in the field. Been shooting them every sense. I think they are more consistant and therefore shoot better as far as leads.

                            Winchester AA a good load, plus the hulls are awesome to reload. I buy them when I need to new hulls to reload. Can't beat handloaded shells. Don't really save money nowdays......get a hotter shell for about the same price.

                              I usually buy the low brass #8 shot with a full chock and normally get a limit with one box of shells. That is unless they are way out there.
