Ray, are these Peters loaded with magnum shot. They are new one's, not the old one's. These have Remington on the headstamp.

Yes, you could throw a rock and kill a dove if it was close enough, but if it is farther, you are going to want the better shells with the better shot. The heavy loads will also give you more range.If I find that the "better shells" arn't performing any better than the cheap ones, I will just go back to them.

Huntinaz, I might put a 7 1/2 in the first tube, and a 6 in the second. I read some where that a size 6 pellet has more energy at 40 yds than a size 8 does at 25. Don't know if it is true, just something to think about if you use size 8 shot.

Thanks for the input, Antique Shooter
