12 Ga – 2.75″ #8 Shot 1 oz – Remington (20032 / GL128) – 250 Rounds

Dove season and casual clay shooting both burn through shells quickly, and a light 1 ounce 12 gauge load handles both without heavy recoil. This listing is Remington Game Load 12 gauge 2-3/4 inch 1 ounce #8 lead shot ammo, MPN 20032, sold as 250 rounds for upland hunters, dove field regulars, and weekend clay shooters.

Remington rates this load at 1,290 fps. That brisk velocity with a 1 ounce payload gives quick shot strings and enough pellet energy for doves, quail, and woodcock at typical field distances, while recoil stays lighter than heavier target or field loads. Number 8 shot provides a dense pattern for small, fast birds and works well on clay targets too. Game Load shells use lead shot, so they are for upland birds and targets, not for waterfowl, which requires nontoxic shot by federal law.

These shells fit 12 gauge shotguns with 2-3/4 inch or longer chambers, including the Remington 870 and 1100, Benelli Montefeltro and Super Black Eagle, Beretta A300 and A400, Browning Gold and Citori, Mossberg 500 and 940, Stoeger M3000, and Winchester SX4. A common question is whether 1 ounce loads cycle semi-automatic shotguns. Most gas operated 12 gauges cycle them, though some inertia guns prefer heavier loads until they break in, so test a few. Another common question is the best choke for doves. Improved cylinder or modified chokes are common choices, since doves are usually taken at moderate range.

Remington 20032 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA. The shells use plastic hulls with metal heads and non-corrosive primers. This listing ships as 10 boxes of 25 shells for 250 total from one lot, a good amount for opening weekend of dove season plus a few rounds of practice beforehand. Pattern your gun with this load on paper at 30 yards to see how your choke performs before the birds start flying.
