Remington Heavy Dove Loads 20 Gauge 2.75" 1 oz 8 Shot - 25 Rounds/Box

Remington Heavy Dove Loads in 20 gauge are purpose-built for hunters pursuing fast-flying doves and upland game birds. These 2.75" shells load 1 ounce of No. 8 shot and deliver the balanced, consistent patterning that's made them a favorite among dove hunters for decades. Whether you're working a sunflower field at dawn or evening roosting scenarios, these loads are engineered to put pellets where they count without excess recoil or cost.

The 20 gauge is an excellent choice for dove hunting—lighter recoil than a 12 means you can shoot more accurately over a longer day, and the smaller bore still offers plenty of pattern density for clean kills at typical dove ranges. No. 8 shot is the traditional dove load for good reason: small enough for tight patterns, heavy enough to maintain energy downrange. At 1165 fps muzzle velocity, these shells perform as expected in standard upland shotguns without pushing extreme pressures.

Each box contains 25 rounds, making these an economical choice for a day in the field or practice sessions before season. Lead shot construction keeps costs down and lets you focus on shooting rather than gear complexity. If you shoot a 20 gauge and hunt doves regularly, Remington Heavy Dove Loads are worth stocking in your ammo cabinet.

Frequently Asked Questions

What shotgun will these work in?

These are 20 gauge, 2.75" shells designed for any standard 20 gauge shotgun chambered for 2.75" or longer. Check your shotgun's chamber marking to confirm compatibility.

Is No. 8 shot the right choice for dove hunting?

Yes, No. 8 is the traditional and widely used shot size for dove hunting. The smaller pellets deliver tight, consistent patterns at the ranges typical of dove work, while the 1 oz load balances payload with recoil management.

How many boxes will I need for a day of dove hunting?

That depends on your hunting style and success rate. A box of 25 rounds gives you a reasonable field load. Many hunters carry multiple boxes for a full day in the field.

Are these lead shot rounds legal where I hunt?

Lead shot regulations vary by region and season. Check your local hunting regulations before purchasing, as some areas restrict or prohibit lead shot for certain game or seasons.
