there's no such thing as cheap ammo. cheap shooters but not ammo

I suppose there is plenty of "cheap" ammo out there; I probably should have said. "I didn't know there was such a thing as inexpensive ammo anymore." :cool:

Just saw an ad in the American Hunter mag. from the NRA for a dove load.It is from Winchester and called magnum dove. 1 1/4 oz. at 1400 fps with a mix of7 1/2 and9 shot. The American magnum itis is alive and well.

Holy Crap!!....For a little dove???? :eek:

I have shot clays with too many people who say i need all the bb's i can get and give them a 3/4 oz shell that they smoke the target with but make no converts.

Can only imagine how much that would hurt in a 7pound gun.

They will sell them have no fear. Absolutely insanity to come up a load like that. A solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

The average dove hunter typically fires between 5 to 9 shots for each dove bagged, with many estimates suggesting around 5 shots per dove. This means that to bag a limit of 15 doves, a hunter might use approximately 75 to 135 shots.

How big are these doves?

I feel silly trying to bag my limit with a puny 28ga.:eek:

Those must be PA doves.

So you're all set now with 3k 8ga cannon fodder rounds. Those PA doves won't have a chance.:crying:

Sounds like the moronic loads they came up with (I think it was Remington) in the heyday of Canada goose hunting (c. 1970 - 1985). Called something like a "magnum duplex" load, half #BBs and half #2s for geese out of a pit; half #2s and half #4s for geese or "big ducks" over decoys. Crammed into a 2 3/4" shell with nose-bleeding velocities and eye-watering recoil! Net result was a bumper crop of crippled birds taken too far out or "flock shot" counting on the smaller sized shot to smother pitching birds as they clumped up for landing.
