Ledemagnum Dove

Winchester Ammunition has launched Magnum Dove, a shotshell engineered specifically for dove hunting. Made in the U.S.A., Magnum Dove features heavy payloads, high velocity, and dense patterns.

Available in 12- and 20-gauge, both in 2 3/4-inch lengths, Magnum Dove shotshells contain a custom blend of #7 ½ and #9 lead shot. The batch-blended shot is optimized for pattern density on doves. The 12-gauge offering boasts a 1 1/4-ounce payload, travelling at 1400 fps at the muzzle. The 20-gauge is an ounce moving at 1300 fps. Both are sold in 25-round boxes.

“Dove season is a time-honored tradition for many hunters across the country,” said Kyle Masinelli, senior director of Product Innovation and Strategy for Winchester. “With Magnum Dove, we give wingshooters more confidence behind the gun and a competitive edge to fill limits.”
