Winchester Ammo MD2079 Magnum Dove 20Gauge 2.75" 1oz 7.5/9Shot 25 Per Box/10 Case

Winchester Magnum Dove shotshells in 20 gauge are purpose-built for dove hunters who want a reliable, dense-pattern load that connects on fast-moving birds. This 20-gauge ammunition pairs a custom blend of #7½ and #9 lead shot in a 2¾-inch hull, loaded to 1 ounce at 1,300 feet per second—offering the pellet count and pattern density you need when birds are working across the field. Made in the USA, Magnum Dove rounds deliver the velocity and payload consistency that serious wingshooters depend on when pursuing dove and small upland game.

The shot is batch-blended for uniformity, with precisely sized pellets engineered to hold tight patterns from your smooth-bore barrel. That density matters when your target is a small, quick-moving silhouette; looser, inconsistent patterns waste shells and cost you birds. Winchester's high-brass magnum construction supports the heavy payload without compromise, giving you confidence that every shot pattern will perform the same as the last.

This is working ammunition—not exotic, not marketing hype—built by a maker with generations of shotshell expertise. You get 250 rounds per case (10 boxes of 25), so you can practice before the season opens and carry enough to finish strong on opening day or a weekend trip.
