Default RE: Advice on Shotgun Setup!

ORIGINAL: daleh

First season dove hunting they should be pretty close to you.
Use a Skeet choke or Imp. Cyl. (IC)
you should also be able to break any target on most courses with the same chokes Skeet or IC
I like the AA Shells the best. but you can use any brand you wish.
Things you should look for
#8 or # 7 1/2 size shot
3dram 1 1/8 oz shot
sometimes they don't give you the powder amount
should be from 1175 to 1300 ft per sec. velocity
my fav. AA Shells
AA Super Sport
#8 1300 fps
I like this in my bennelli auto 12ga
AA Lite Target Load
i like this one in my double guns
doesn't kick you as bad
Great advise...I would only add this...take the shells you are going to use and pattern them...this way you know how they shoot with each choke...skeet in one gun and type of may not shoot like a skeet tube in another gun
