Winchester AA - which version for dove/quail?
I have heard many good things about Winchester AAs over the cheap bargain shells. I want to pick up some for dove/quail hunting. They have a light target and a handicap heavy target. Which would be best for hunting?
Thanks, Dave |

Depends, figures I'd say that..
Type of gun ( action ) , how YOUR gun patterns, and the "how the birds fly" I'm partial to the 2 3/4 dr myself. [ skeet load] It is similar to what I load for skeet. Runs in Semi auto's - my SX1, and will run Rem 1100s, Beretta 302,303 and up. Even Win 1400 semis. -Disregard if shooting a another platform. [pump/ O/U...] even so soft on shoulder - hard on birds. The 3 dr [ trap load] is a great load as well , if your gun won't run the 2 3/4 - these should run it. BTW the 2 3/4 dr Sporting Clay loading @1300 fps is a good one too. HTH Steve I know they make shells other than RED ones....my blue ones are a bit spicer for "just in case"...

My guns tend to really like the 2 3/4" SuperSport loadings. They are advertised to run 1275fps. Since most of my hunting guns are fixed full choke, the higher velocity tends to open the patterns just a bit.
