2014 Dove Season

[YALE]

Remington makes some crazy #6 high-brass loads. It's 1.25oz at 1500fps. They actually do it in #6 and #4. It's nasty as fuck.

Well, that's why I don't reload bird shot. Because my time is worth more than the hours on end it would take fiddling with shot and a turrent shotshell press. It's the only ammo I buy really.

I am with you on that; I have just been buying the good stuff since last season but I ordered 44lbs of nickle plated 7.5 shot this morning and will try to duplicate the factory hotrod stuff.

That sounds like a stout load. I'd like to research is. Can you post a part number?

Unless you have a supply of good shot at a decent price hand loading shotgun shells is not cost effective. I have everything I need to load 20 and 12 but don't cause I can buy a flat of Remington Gun club for the same price or a few dollars less than when I reload. Then you have the Winchester AA promo where you can get $100 rebate for buying a certain amount that make it hard to beat loading 28 or 410 shells.

I can. Federal also has the same shot size at 1.125oz at 1500fps.

$57 for 250 rounds of Estate dove loads, deal?

Sunflowers are about three and a half feet tall in my shooting spot. They're local but could have got my limit today. Lots of dove around Whitney.

That's a good deal. They're likely to just be 1oz target load for that price, but you can for sure kill doves with that.

For a flat that isn't bad. Where is that? That may be my shot this year.

Surprisingly they're at Dicks Sporting Goods. $7 a box, buy 4 and get the 5th free. No limit.

I'm still looking for better deals locally but this is the best I've found.

Academy has some 250 for $54 Winchester, and Rio was $62 I think. Not bad prices.

I bought a dirt-cheap dove getter today. I've got like 6 possible places to hunt, and I've got a bunch of ammo. I'm pretty fired up about it.

[Cannon88]

Nice! What did you get? I wish I had 6 placea to go! I have 1 for sure, and a couple of maybes. I need my own land!!

Just a Mossberg SA-20, to get me through the rest of college. I'll get a swankier gun when I'm gainfully employed.

[Cannon88]

I have some swanky guns, but I have killed more birds with my old 870 than anything else. I still love that gun. I shot my grandfathers Model 12, 16 gauge last year during dove season - now that was very cool.

[DieselSmoke]

I'm ready… It's gonna suck though because i lost my dog to lymphoma in April and he won't be out there with me. I had him cremated and i'm spreading his ashes on the same field we always hunt on opening day.

Damn man I'm sorry to hear about your pup.
