I got some and they suck. I got the Cci's and theyre horrible anyone know of anyother brands that are ok? jus lookin to shoot doves.
22 Lr with bird shot for dove is a BAD [:@]Idea.
It's only good for about 10 to 15 foot.
And most places it against the law to shoot dove with a rifle.
Use a Shotgun.
I agree with jrbsr... .22 shotshells of any kind are adequate only for small targets at very close range...They kill barn sparrows and rats , but only if they are within 15 or 20 feet... I have used them quite a bit over the years for rats inside buildings and I've noticed that they seem to pattern much better out of a handgun than a rifle..I suspect that's because the in the shorter barrel the shot pattern is less disrupted by the rifling..
