    I don’t give a damn how good of a shot you think you are, a 7/8 ounce winchester is not going to outperform a rio of fiochhi heavy dove load.

    I think it has a lot to do with mind games and confidence in a shell.

    TSS or ITX will outperform, but absolutely unnecessary.

    Simple matter of more pellets. Increases the odds. I do love to piller case one and watch it fold.

    Ive shot alot of birds and always felt for me it was shooting the same load or shell all the time. Seemed like I would get used to the speed for the lead. Buying whatever cheap shells I saw always seemed to raise my shot per bird ratio. That said I always liked the Fiocchi 3 1/4 1/14 loads for crushing yankee birds late season and they work well in the early season also, if you were on em they fell well

    I like a medium load 12 with 1 1/8 oz of #8s.


    A case can be made for a little stronger load in the late season,....but at the end of the day,...they're doves.

    So you’re saying you lead birds differently for a 1250fps shell vs. a 1300fps shell???

    Buy whatever you're confident with and go shoot. If you're spending all afternoon worrying that your shell isn't up to par, you'll miss all day long.

    Go with green hulls, especially if you have kids. Keeps them occupied longer picking up your hulls.

    Brass ain't high enough. You'll never kill a dove with that shell.

    So you're planning to kill 5 doves and drink a cup of coffee then apply some chapstick to your burnt lips. And your truck needs a housekeeper.

    It would hurt my feelings if Fish didn't drink black coffee.

    That was the equivalent of a snack for me.
