Description
The BioAmmo Steel Dove 12 GA 7/8 oz 7 Shot is BioAmmo lightest non-toxic dove and clay load. It carries 7/8 ounce of #7 steel shot in a 2-3/4 inch 12 gauge shell, and both hull and wad are made from plastic free, biodegradable materials. Each box holds 25 rounds.
Why Choose the BioAmmo Steel Dove 12 GA 7/8 oz 7 Shot
A 7/8 oz dove load produces noticeably less recoil than 1 or 1-1/8 ounce shells, which makes it easy on the shoulder over a long day of clays or a busy opening-day dove shoot. New shooters and youth shooters in 12 gauge guns especially appreciate lighter loads.
Because it is steel, the shell is legal on ranges and public lands where lead is prohibited. That makes it a practical non-toxic clay load for clubs near water and wildlife areas.
BioAmmo biodegradable target ammo reduces the plastic left behind on busy fields and ranges, since the hull and wad are designed to break down naturally.
Using the BioAmmo Steel Dove 12 GA 7/8 oz 7 Shot
Light recoil steel shells like this are best on close targets. For doves, keep shots within about 30 yards, where the 7/8 ounce pattern stays dense enough for clean kills.
Steel patterns tighter than lead. Choose improved cylinder or skeet chokes rated for steel, and avoid tight fixed chokes that are not steel rated. Confirm your shotgun is rated for steel shot before use.
Some gas-operated semi-autos need a bit more energy to cycle, so test light loads in your gun before a match or hunt. Store shells in a dry place, since the components are designed to break down over time when exposed to moisture.

Who Should Buy This Load
Clay shooters who want soft recoil and non-toxic shot, and dove hunters on lead-restricted fields, will find this BioAmmo load a comfortable, eco-conscious choice.
The light payload gives up some pattern density and range. For longer passing birds, a heavier 1 ounce steel load or a lead load where legal will perform better.

Pick up your hulls when you can; even biodegradable materials take time to break down.
Try a round of skeet with this load before the dove opener to confirm function and learn how it patterns through your chokes.
