Remington Ammunition Heavy Dove Loads 12 Gauge 2.75" 1 1/8 oz 8 Shot - 25 Rounds per Box

Remington Heavy Dove Loads for 12 gauge shotguns are built around what works: a proven load that balances shot placement, pattern consistency, and reliable performance on fast-flying doves and other upland game birds. With 1 1/8 ounces of #8 shot in a 2.75-inch shell, these loads deliver the kind of balanced performance that's made them a go-to choice for hunters who've put in enough time in the field to know what gets the job done.

The Heavy Dove load is engineered for the practical realities of dove hunting—birds that don't sit still and don't give you many chances. The #8 shot size patterns tightly enough for clean, ethical kills at typical hunting distances without the recoil penalty of larger loads. A muzzle velocity of 1255 fps keeps things manageable, especially if you're shooting all morning from your blind or walking the fields. Lead shot construction keeps these loads affordable so you can shoot enough to stay sharp.

Each box contains 25 rounds, making them convenient for a morning hunt or a trip to the range to pattern your shotgun. Whether you're targeting doves on a late-summer afternoon or using them for other upland applications, Heavy Dove Loads are straightforward, no-frills ammunition built to pattern reliably and perform when it counts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best shot size for dove hunting?

The #8 shot in these loads is a solid choice for doves. Smaller shot size patterns tighter and is effective at the ranges where most dove hunters operate, while keeping recoil manageable during a long hunt.

Will these work in my 12 gauge shotgun?

These are 2.75-inch shells designed for standard 12 gauge shotguns. If your shotgun is chambered for 2.75-inch loads, you're good to go. Check your barrel marking or owner's manual if you're unsure about chamber length.

Can I use Heavy Dove Loads for other game birds?

Yes, Remington markets these as suitable for a variety of upland game bird applications beyond doves, making them versatile for different bird-hunting situations.

How many shells come in a box?

Each box contains 25 rounds, a convenient quantity for a morning hunt or range session.
