Somebody explain...diff between loads

Postby Wingman » Mon Aug 21, 2006 8:23 pm

Looking at the Wally World dove loads.

some are 3 drams, some 3 1/4

some are 1 oz shot, some 1 1/8, some 1 1/4.

How many more pellets of say, 8 shot, in a 1 1/4 than a 1 oz load? How much difference does the dram make in terms of knockdown and speed?

Looking for some Rotweil or Fiiochi, unless I can find a good, heavy, low-brass dove load.

BEST I have found is the Remington Shur Shot heavy dove loads. Generally cost @ $4.00 per box. Some folks swear by some of the other high class stuff, which cost $5 + per box, but for the every-day good ol boy such as yourself and me these work just fine. Give em a try....you won't be disappointed.
