Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

For most upland hunters, dove and quail season is about more than just filling the bag. It's tradition, it's heritage, and Fiocchi's been backing that heritage for over 145 years. This load delivers exactly what you need without the premium price tag.
Each round packs a 1 1/8 ounce charge of #8 chilled lead shot moving at 1250 fps—the sweet spot for small upland birds. The construction behind these shells matters too. You get quality chilled shot in a one-piece shot cup, cushioned wads, and clean burning powder backed by a reliable primer. This setup produces consistent patterns and dependable ignition shot after shot, whether you're in the field or running practice rounds.
#8 shot is the classic choice for dove and quail work. It gives you enough pellets for quick follow-up patterns without excessive spread, and the pellet density handles typical 15-35 yard hunting ranges effectively. The 1250 fps velocity is right in the goldilocks zone—fast enough to reach birds decisively without unnecessary recoil or cost.
These aren't specialty loads that sit on a shelf. The 25-round box format works for both season hunting and practice sessions. The 2.75" chamber length fits standard 12 gauge shotguns, and the economical design lets you shoot more without breaking the bank. Whether you're testing your swing in the field or working clays between hunting trips, these shells cycle reliably and perform consistently.
Yes, #8 shot is the classic choice for both. The pellet density works well on small upland birds at typical hunting ranges of 15-35 yards. The size allows for enough pellets per load to create good patterns without excessive spread, and the chilled lead construction delivers clean hits on these smaller targets.
These loads are most effective out to about 35-40 yards on dove and quail. At closer ranges, particularly in the 15-25 yard window, you'll see optimal pattern density and energy. Beyond 40 yards, pattern spread increases significantly and shot density drops, reducing your chances of clean kills on small birds.
Absolutely. The 1250 fps velocity and 1 1/8 ounce payload make these shells versatile enough for both field hunting and practice shooting. Many hunters use them for range work between seasons, which means you can build familiarity with how your gun patterns them before the season starts.
1250 fps is a moderate velocity that balances energy delivery with manageable recoil. It's fast enough to effectively reach bird-sized targets at typical upland ranges, but not so hot that you'll experience excessive felt recoil or wear on your gun. This velocity range is standard for general-purpose upland loads.
