12 Ga – 2.75″ #8 Shot 1 1/8 oz – Remington Heavy Dove (28757 / RHD128) – 250 Rounds

Dove season burns through shells fast, and Remington Heavy Dove is built for exactly that kind of high-volume field shooting. This listing is Remington Heavy Dove 12 gauge 2-3/4 inch 1-1/8 ounce #8 lead shot, MPN 28757, sold as a 250 round case.

Remington lists this load at 1,255 fps. The 1-1/8 ounce payload of #8 shot is heavier than a typical 1 ounce target load, which puts more pellets in the pattern for fast, crossing birds. Number 8 shot is a classic choice for mourning doves, and it also works well for quail, woodcock, and other small upland birds, as well as for sporting clays and informal trap and skeet. The Heavy Dove name refers to the heavier field payload compared with lighter target loads.

This ammunition fits shotguns chambered in 12 gauge with a 2-3/4 inch or longer chamber, including the Remington 870 and 1100, Benelli Montefeltro and Ethos, Beretta A300 and A400, Browning Citori and A5, Mossberg 500 and 930, Stoeger M3000, and Franchi Affinity. A common question is which choke to use for doves. Many hunters use improved cylinder or modified for typical dove field distances, and modified or tighter for longer passing shots. Another common question is whether lead shot is legal for doves. US federal rules allow lead shot for doves in most places, but some wildlife management areas require nontoxic shot, so check local regulations. This is a 12 gauge load, so do not use it in a 20 gauge or other gauge firearm.

Remington 28757 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA. This case comes in factory packaging as 10 boxes of 25 rounds for a total of 250 rounds of 12 gauge 1-1/8 ounce #8 shot, enough for several dove shoots or a season of clays from one lot. Keep the shells cool and dry between hunts.
