12 Ga – 2.75 – 1 oz #8 Lead Shot – Fiocchi (12GT8)- 250 Rounds

A light, quick 1 ounce load is pleasant to shoot through a full day in the dove field or on the clays course. This listing is Fiocchi Field Dynamics Dove and Quail 12 gauge 2-3/4 inch 1 ounce #8 lead shot ammo, MPN 12GT8, sold as a 250 round case.

Fiocchi rates this load at 1,250 fps. The 1 ounce payload recoils less than heavier 1-1/8 ounce loads, which helps when you are shooting dozens or hundreds of shells in a session. #8 lead shot gives a dense pattern for small, fast birds like doves and quail and for clay targets at common distances. It is a field and target load, built for upland birds and recreational clays rather than larger game or waterfowl.

This ammunition fits shotguns chambered in 12 gauge with a 2-3/4 inch or longer chamber, including the Benelli Montefeltro and Ultra Light, Beretta A300 and A400, Browning A5 and Citori, Franchi Affinity, Remington 870, and Mossberg 500. A common question is whether a 1 ounce load cycles every semi-auto 12 gauge. Most modern gas and inertia semi-autos handle it, but some guns tuned for heavy loads may short-cycle, so test a few rounds. Another common question is whether lead shot is legal for dove and quail. Lead is allowed in many areas, but certain public lands and refuges require non-toxic shot, so check your local regulations.

Fiocchi 12GT8 is new production ammunition, not reloads. This case contains 10 boxes of 25 rounds for a total of 250 rounds of 12 gauge 1 ounce #8 shot. That supply covers an opening week in the dove field plus practice rounds of skeet or sporting clays beforehand, all from one lot for consistent patterns. Keep the boxes dry between trips and they will be ready for the next season.
