Reloading 8 gauge bananas.

Yes the yellow shell I resized easy enough.
Only shell that ever surprised me was the short brass AA looking 8 gauge industrial loads. I didn't think it would work with them but they resized extremely easy.

A pocket full of those would be great fun at a dove hunt!

I’ve gotten rude looks at a December dove shoot for bringing a 10 gauge , I can just imagine what they’d say about an 8 . Of course it’s illegal as heck , not that it would bother me in the least .

I opened dove season South Zone with a 30" 10 ga. damascus . My guys howled! Rude comments about "buffalo guns", cannons, etc. They weren't laughing watching me drop several on the OTHER SIDE of the pond we were hunting or a couple of high flyers the girly-men with the 28's passed on! A short 10 is a great choice for a dove hunt. I think I'll stick to my light weight 16s and 20s for quail though!

Reminded me of this article https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.the...s-you-can/amp/

A short 10 might not be too bad on quail considering it's alot more open down here since we lost alot of pines. You carry the 8s enough a 9lb 3 frame feels like a 16 gauge in comparison so close enough I say haha.

I was showing one to a coworker and he says "those must be 20 gauge turkey loads?" Yeah they're something like that I suppose
